Re: Problem inserting the string "agenda"

There's no reason why the string itself poses a problem. Here are a few possible causes off the top of my head: 1) invalid syntax in the insert command
2) the field in the table isn't big enough (it has to allow for

   a length of at least 6)
3) the datatype of the field is incompatible with a string 4) you need to surround the string with single quotes. You used

   double quotes in the example. If you really did that SQL will    assume it's a column name, not a literal string. 5) you forgot to issue the command 'sqlplus' so instead of typing

   the command in SQL*PLUS you entered it on the Unix command line.

If it's none of these, send in your table description and the *exact* command you're using to insert.
