Why MySQL Error on INSERT INTO....?


Hi,

I am trying to execute the following MySQL code but I am getting and error and I dont understand why!

Code:
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('brittany','Brittany',0);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('normandy','Normandy',1);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('picardie','Picardie',2);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('nord','Nord - Pas de Calais',3);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('champ','Champagne - Ardenne',4);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('ile','Ile de France',5);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('lorra','Lorraine',6);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('alsa','Alsace',7);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('franc','Franche Comté',8);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('burgu','Burgundy',9);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('centre','Centre',10);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('pays','Pays de la Loire',11);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('poit','Poitou - Charentes',12);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('limo','Limousin',13);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('auver','Auvergne',14);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('rhone','Rhône - Alps',15);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('prove','Provence - Alps - Cóte d Azur',16);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('lang','Languedoc - Roussillon',17);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('midi','Midi - Pyrénéés',18);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('aquit','Aquitaine',19);
INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('cors','Corsica',20);
and here is the error

Quote:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near '; INSERT INTO holiday_regions VALUES ('normandy','Normandy',1); INSERT INTO holi' at line 1
Can someone explain what that error means? It seems to be a bit ambigious. Is it near to the start or end on the quote. MySQL really need some more detailed debugging system!

TIA

is the third field in your table set to contain a character ..or a number? if it's a character ..you may need the " ' "s (quotes) ...also you can set that field for the number to auto_increment so you can just leave it out altogether (but it should be an integer field first)
