What you missed is     in postcode because it is a varchar    There are two ways of inserting   When you created a table Table created  and you add a row just after creating it  you can use the following method    INSERT INTO table name VALUES  value1 value2 value3         1 row created   You ve added so many tables  or it is saved and you are reopening it  you need to mention the table s column name too or else it will display the same error    ERROR at line 2  ORA-00984  column not allowed here   INSERT INTO table name  column1 column2 column3      VALUES  value1 value2 value3         1 row created

This error creeps in if we make some spelling mistake in entering the variable name  Like in stored proc  I have the variable name x and in my insert statement I am using  insert into tablename values y     It will throw an error column not allowed here

Like Scaffman said - You are missing quotes   Always when you are passing a value to varchar2 use quotes  INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES  PQ95VM   HAPPY STREET   FRANCE      So one     starts the string and the second      closes it    But if you want to add a quote symbol into a string for example       My father told me   you have to be brave  son     You have to use a triple quote symbol like       My father told me    you have to be brave  son        adding quote method can vary on different db engines

You re missing quotes around the first value  it should be  INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES  PQ95VM    HAPPY STREET    FRANCE      Incidentally  you d be well-advised to specify the column names explicitly in the INSERT  for reasons of readability  maintainability and robustness  i e   INSERT INTO LOCATION  POSTCODE  STREET NAME  CITY  VALUES   PQ95VM    HAPPY STREET    FRANCE

Try using varchar2 instead of varchar and use this   INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES  PQ95VM   HAPPY STREET   FRANCE

While inserting the data  we have to used character string delimiter        And  you missed it       while inserting values which is the reason of your error message  The correction of code is given below  INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES PQ95VM  HAPPY STREET   FRANCE

User · Answer

INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES PQ95VM  HAPPY STREET   FRANCE       the above mentioned code is not correct because your first parameter POSTCODE is of type VARCHAR 10   you should have used        try INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES  PQ95VM   HAPPY STREET   FRANCE

Some time  While executing insert query  we are facing      Column not allowed here   error  Because of quote might missing in the string parameters  Add quote in the string params and try to execute   Try this   INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES  PQ95VM   HAPPY STREET   FRANCE      or   INSERT INTO LOCATION  ID  FIRST NAME  LAST NAME  VALUES  PQ95VM   HAPPY STREET   FRANCE      http   www drtuts com oracle-error-column-not-allowed-here
