INSERT INTO [Temp].[dbo].[Student]
([Fname], [Lname], [Gender])
VALUES
(N'Aname', N'Alname', N'Male')
GO
This codes workes fine but when I try to add multiple values it gives me an error
Error: Incorrect syntax near ','.
USE TEMP
GO
INSERT INTO [Temp].[dbo].[Student]
([Fname], [Lname], [Gender])
VALUES
(N'Aname', N'Alname', N'Male'),
(N'Bname', N'Blname', N'Male')
GO
In order to use the multi-row VALUES(),()
syntax, you need to be running SQL Server 2008 (or newer).
Since you are running SQL Server 2005, you need to run separate insert statements, use UNION/UNION ALL, or upgrade the instance (which is separate from Management Studio, which is just a client tool you use to connect to instances running any number of versions of SQL Server).
You can do it this way:
insert into [Temp].[dbo].[Student]
select 'Aname', 'Alname', 'AMale'
union all
select 'Bname', 'BAlname', 'BMale'
etc etc
Thanks
