Error in SQL syntax

Hi all,
I have an SQL database which up untli about 20 minutes ago was fine. I have a complex contact form whic is (was) all finished. I have added a couple more tables to the database (now totalling 4), in order to create a registration / login page.
(Is it okay to have 4 tables in 1 database?)
Anyway. I have just finished with the login stuff and all works fine. I decided to have a quick look around the site and make sure everything is okay - but for some reason when I navigate to the "complex contact form" - I get this message:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ASCE LIMIT 0, 150' at line 1
The registration wizard and login pages still work, and in general the site is browseable. But this page will not work and I have no idea why?
Does anyone have any suggestion? All I have done since it worked is add 2 other tables as I said....
Thank you / please help!

There was a typo in my previous post. There should be only one $ in $query_recordsetName. I should also have added that "recordsetName" is the name of your recordset. I would have thought it was obvious, but I see you're limiting the number of results, so the name is slightly different.
The other thing is that you have not put it where I told you. Apart from that...
$query_rscontacts1 = "SELECT contacts.Logo, contacts.Industries,
contacts.coverage, contacts.misc, contacts.id, contacts.email,
contacts.website FROM contacts WHERE {$NXTFilter_rscontacts1} ORDER BY
{$NXTSort_rscontacts1}";
$query_limit_rscontacts1 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_rscontacts1, $startRow_rscontacts1, $maxRows_rscontacts1);
echo $query_limit_rscontacts1 . '<br />';
$rscontacts1 = mysql_query($query_limit_rscontacts1, $Contacts) or die(mysql_error());

Error with SQL syntax

I'm trying to get onto a website i could normally get into but all it says is this
you have an error in your SQL syntax;check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near') and adlx.'action' != 2' at line 1
I'm not good with computers and I've never heard of this i need some help, I may just be stupid but i seriously need some help here
preferably instructions for a hp computer

This looks to be an error with the web site you are visiting, not a problem with your PC. I suggest you contact the web site owner. The error suggests a problem with programming against a MySQL database, which is not a Microsoft technology.

SQL syntax error...

SQL Syntax:
select ename||'-'||job from emp
Initially, I was using the .Net Framework Data Provider for Oracle and had no problem bringing up the Query Builder in VS 2008. However, when I use the ODP .Net from Oracle, I get an error when bringing up the Query Builder:
Error in SELECT clause: expression near '|'.
Unable to parse query text.
It seems like when uing ODP .Net, it does not like the concatenation in the Select statment.
Any clue why?

Is this consistently reproducible for you? Is it query builder specific? What version of ODP are you using? I just tried this with 11.1.6.20 ODP and it worked fine..
Cheers

CR2011 - SQL Syntax Error

After updating our ODBC driver to match our current Unidata database version (7.1), we now get the following message from Crystal Reports 2011 on many of our existing reports:
"Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: 37000:[Rocket U2][U2ODBC][1401249]Error ID: 21 Severity: ERROR Facility: DBCAPERR - SQL Syntax error. [Database Vendor Code: 5365440]
The generated SQL statement follows:

I downloaded the trial version of CR2013 and get the same result. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks!

Yes, in that the query is what Crystal generated from the report being built in the designer. I simply copied it from the Database > Show SQL Query screen. Since the error I'm receiving is a SQL Syntax Error, I thought it would be appropriate to show it.
The bottom line is that because I am not very knowledgeable in SQL, I can't look at the query and identify the error. However, I am responsible for supporting CR in-house. Naturally, I have reported this to Rocket (the makers of the ODBC driver) but haven't received their reply yet.

ReportViewer using SQL Query error states: Incorrect syntax near ','.

Hello Community
    Using Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 I created a Windows Application
that uses SQL Server Reporting Services. The application uses ReportViewer and
calls a method written using SQL query.
            1-First I created the form.
            2-Next I dragged the ReportViewer (Toolbox) and Table (from DataSource) onto the form.
The problem is that when it reaches the last line of the SQL query (ie, da.Fill(ds, "TableOne");)
the code fails stating the error message:
            "Incorrect syntax near ','."
     The following is the code behind the form containing the query:
        private void ReportPgm1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            // TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'ReportDBDataSet.TableOne' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
            this.TableOneTableAdapter.Fill(this.ReportDBDataSet.TableOne);
            reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;
            LocalReport ReportOneLocalReport = reportViewer1.LocalReport;
            DataSet ds = new DataSet("ReportDBDataSet.TableOne");
            pgmReportOne(FromDate, ToDate,   ds);
            ReportDataSource ds = new ReportDataSource("ReportDBDataSet.TableOne");
            ds.Value = dataset.Tables["TableOne"];
            ReportOneLocalReport.DataSources.Clear();
            ReportOneLocalReport.DataSources.Add(ds);
            this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
        private void pgmReportOne(DateTime FromDate, DateTime ToDate, DataSet ds)
            SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ReportDBServer;Initial Catalog=ReportDB;Uid=sa;pwd=Password");
            string sqlReportOne = "Select ([InDate], [FirstName], [LastName], [AGe]" +
                               "from TableOne";
            SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(sqlReportONe, connection);
            command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("paramFDate", FromDate));
            command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("paramTDate", ToDate));
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(command);
            da.Fill(ds, "TableOne");
    Why does the last line throw an error?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

--NOTE: The statement below cannot be run on SQL Server 2012
--If you have an earlier version and can set the compatibility
--level to 80, it can be run.
SELECT sso.SpecialOfferID, Description, DiscountPct, ProductID
FROM Sales.SpecialOffer sso,
Sales.SpecialOfferProduct ssop
WHERE sso.SpecialOfferID *= ssop.SpecialOfferID
AND sso.SpecialOfferID != 1
Hi Scott
The *= is old syntax and not compatible with SQL Server 2012 (as stated in the comments).
You could do something like this instead
SELECT sso.SpecialOfferID
,Description
,DiscountPct
,ProductID
FROM Sales.SpecialOffer sso
left outer join Sales.SpecialOfferProduct ssop on sso.SpecialOfferID = ssop.SpecialOfferID
WHERE sso.SpecialOfferID != 1

SQL syntax error when creating record insertion form

Anyone see a SQL syntax error here?

Hey all,
I am getting an error due to a SQL syntax error. I thought this looked good...but maybe a couple more sets of eyes looking at it will see what I did...
here it is:
stmt.executeUpdate("UPDATE member SET (Age = '" + Agetxf.getText() + "' Location = '" + Locationtxf.getText() + "' College ='" + Collegetxf.getText() + "' Major ='" + Majortxf.getText() + "' Profession='" + Professiontxf.getText() + "') WHERE UserID ='" + CreateAccount.getUserID() + "'");
Thanks in advance...
Atreides

Hi,
Each field should be seperated with comma as below.
stmt.executeUpdate("UPDATE member SET Age = '" + Agetxf.getText() + "', Location = '" + Locationtxf.getText() + "', College ='" + Collegetxf.getText() + "', Major ='" + Majortxf.getText() + "', Profession='" + Professiontxf.getText() + "' WHERE UserID ='" + CreateAccount.getUserID() + "'");Regards,

Entry-SQL syntax error: CASE not allowed

Hello All. When I use sap netweaver developer to develop webdynpro applications, I always meet that jdbc error.
when using inner join,left join, or using case when in the sql, it will pop up Entry-SQL syntax error.
But I have run the sql in Microsoft SQL Server studio successfully.
The SQL statement "UPDATE SAPNWDDB.Z_SERIAL SET LASTSERIAL = CASE WHEN ENDWITH IS NOT NULL THEN CASE WHEN LASTSERIAL + 1 > ENDWITH THEN ISNULL(STARTWITH, 0) ELSE LASTSERIAL + 1 END ELSE LASTSERIAL + 1 END WHERE SERIALNO = ?" contains the syntax error[s]: - 1:43 - Entry-SQL syntax error: CASE not allowed
- 1:78 - Entry-SQL syntax error: CASE not allowed
- 1:124 - SQL syntax error: the token "(" was not expected here
Can someone help me? Thank you.

Hi Arun Jaiswal ,
Thank you for your answer. But I have tried query in sql editor. Actually it can work. Other than "CASE" syntax, it seems not support inner join and left join in webdynpro either. I even can not query the db views.
That's imposible jdbc not support these simple syntex. I wonder there is any config control the sql compatibility level.
I have developped a java programm to test it. It is ok. No error. But the same case pop up error in java webdynpro application.I don't know why.
I am entry level webdynpro developper.
Hopefully you can help me.
Thank you.

I have the latest version of mysql from the Ubuntu repositories. Do I have to configure that a certain way? It isn't the URL which I supply that it does not like because I've tried multiple URLs and they all give me the same error when I supply the correct information.
Any help is greatly appreciated.This is.. very odd.
I have to ask are you really, really sure that your code is just as you posted? Are you sure you aren't running a query of some sort? My guess at this point would be some sort of rather bizarre encoding issue. I'm sorry but I can't reproduce your behaviour, I am connecting to different MySQL instances with no problem from Ubuntu..
Yes the code is exactly the same as what I posted (except hiding actual usernames and passwords)
I've even tried to connect to a remote mysql server and get the same behavior (If I type in the wrong database it alerts me there is no db of that name, if I lg in with the wrong password it alerts me cant login ____ @ ______, when I have all the correct information I get that same old error) , I'm somewhat convinced it's my driver now. I thought at first it was the way I had mysql configured but now I think it's my driver or the way I have everything installed. I simply put the driver location in the classpath and do the command:
export set CLASSPATH=/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar
Was this the wrong way to go about doing it? I'm not currently running tomcat I simply put it there because a book said that's where it should go for tomcat, but I wanted to first try this not running tomcat with just a simple normal Java example.

No, I'm talking about the dot before.
Change this
.$row_detailsRS[$details_prodID] . "";
to this
. $row_detailsRS[$details_prodID] . "";
in both places.

ERROR using SQL Server 2000, FOR UPDATE clause problem

Hi All,
Because our main target for RDBMS mostly SqlServer2000, I try to use ADF BC with one. I successfully run the BC with Tester, scrolling up and down, BUT when i try to make changes and do commit, I receive ERROR, I have tried both JDBC Driver from Microsoft and jTDS, both FAILS.
I have set the 'Default Locking Mode ..' to 'optimistic'
(default is 'pessimistic'), it doesn't help.
Here is the error :
With Microsoft JDBC Driver :
(oracle.jbo.DMLException) JBO-26080: Error while selecting entity for Departments
----- LEVEL 1: DETAIL 0 -----
(java.sql.SQLException) [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer] FOR UPDATE cannot be specified on a READ ONLY cursor.
With jTDS JDBC Driver :
(oracle.jbo.DMLException) JBO-26080: Error while selecting entity for Departments
----- LEVEL 1: DETAIL 0 -----
(java.sql.SQLException) Line 1: FOR UPDATE clause allowed only for DECLARE CURSOR.
Pls any body help...
Thank you,
Krist

Krist,
we added a new SQL Flavor 'SQLServer' in JDeveloper 10.1.2
This was implemented to handle special SQL syntax of SQLServer, different from SQL92 (among others the FOR UPDATE problem you're facing).
For new projects, you can select this flavor during their creation. For projects that were defined with Flavor SQL92, you can switch to SQLServer at runtime by setting the parameter jbo.SQLBuilder=SQLServer (in your Application Module configuration or as a java option -Djbo.SQLBuilder=...)
Regards,
Didier.
