What are the reasons for getting a 1064 error in MySQL?
There are typically a few reasons for a MySQL error 1064.
- There is a syntax error in the SQL statement. This could be due to incorrect usage of a keyword, function, operator, or punctuation mark, or the absence of a keyword, function, operator, or punctuation mark.
- Table name or column name error: This may have occurred due to the table name or column name referenced in the SQL statement being misspelled, or containing illegal characters.
- Error in data type: it may be due to using the wrong data type in the SQL statement, such as inserting character data into a numerical field.
- Incorrect use of quotation marks may occur when incorrectly using double quotes instead of single quotes when referencing strings in an SQL statement.
- Special character error: It may be due to the use of special characters in the SQL statement, such as backslashes (\) or dollar signs ($), which require escaping.
- Comments in SQL statements may cause issues, as MySQL does not support executing SQL statements with comments in non-interactive mode.
- Illegal characters are present in the SQL statement: this could be due to the inclusion of control characters or Unicode characters, which should be removed or replaced.
- The presence of line breaks in the SQL statement may be the reason why MySQL does not support executing SQL statements with line breaks in non-interactive mode.
These are some common reasons that can lead to a MySQL error 1064, but there may be other causes as well. To resolve this error, carefully review the SQL statement for compliance with MySQL syntax rules, ensure that table and column names are correct, and check for any illegal characters in the SQL statement.
