Oracle does not allow joining tables in an UPDATE statement  You need to rewrite your statement with a co-related sub-select  Something like this    UPDATE system info SET field value    NewValue   WHERE field desc IN  SELECT role type                       FROM system users                       WHERE user name    uname     For a complete description on the  valid  syntax of the UPDATE statement  please read the manual   http   docs oracle com cd E11882 01 server 112 e26088 statements 10008 htm i2067715

Semicolon   on the end of command had caused the same error on me    cmd CommandText    INSERT INTO U USERS TABLE  USERNAME  PASSWORD  FIRSTNAME  LASTNAME  VALUES                            txtUsername Text                                txtPassword Text                                txtFirstname Text                                txtLastname Text           lt    Semicolon in    is the cause                                                        Removing it will be fine    Hope it helps

Not exactly the case of actual context of this question  but this exception can be reproduced by the next query   update users set dismissal reason  he can t and don t want  where userid 123   Single quotes in words can t and don t broke the string   In case string have only one inside quote e g   he don t want  oracle throws more relevant quoted string not properly terminated error  but in case of two SQL command not properly ended is thrown    Summary  check your query for double single quotes
