将数据插入MySQL表

Question

So I have a question about inserting data into a table, here's the question:

Assume a database table: customers

Assume these columns

name     varchar(10)

streetAddress     varchar)15)

stateAbbreviation     varchar(2)

balance     decimal(6,2)

Write the SQL that will insert a record to the customers table with these values:

name:     Jimmy

streetAddress:     10 Main St.

stateAbbreviation:     KS

balance:     17.56 

Here is the code that I have come up with:

insert into customers (name,streetAddress,stateAbbreviation,balance) values ('Jimmy','10 Main St.','KS','17.56');

I'm getting an error saying that it's not right, what am I not doing right? Thanks

Answer 1

The balance column is a decimal , but you're trying to insert a string value:

'17.56'

Instead, insert a numeric value:

17.56
