Hello,

Sorry for the issues with your SQL code.  We generally will only be able to provide limited help with coding.  We recommend you work with an experienced developer if you require further assistance.  In regards to the error statement, it is a syntax error, so your code has a problem with the way that it was written.  This could be punctuation, incorrect use of a command, incorrect values, or the use of a reserved word.  In this case, it's easy to see that you're using "ADD."  That is most likely a reserved word you're trying to use in your table.  Change the name of that column, and it should be okay.


If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.


Kindest Regards,

Arnel C.
