SQL Error code 1064 is an indication of a syntax error in the SQL query. It indicates that you made a syntax error in your SQL query, rendering it invalid. In other words, MySQL returns the error because it can't understand your request.

What Causes SQL Error 1064?

• Syntax errors - Syntax errors arise when the SQL statement is written incorrectly or goes against the syntax standards.
• outdated commands – using commands that are no longer supported by the current version of SQL, such as old and expired commands.
• Using reserved words incorrectly – Reserved words are those that the SQL language has previously reserved for a particular usage. SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, ALTER, DELETE, etc. are some examples. You'll run into SQL Error 1064 if you use reserved terms in your SQL code for something other than what is specified for them.
• Incorrect data types – Using the wrong data types in the SQL query is known as improper data types. An example of this is entering text into a number field.
• Missing data - An SQL error 1064 may appear if you attempt to enter or update data in a database that is missing a necessary field.

• How to Fix SQL Error 1064:

1. Carefully analyzing the error message is essential in identifying the root cause of the MySQL 1064 error.
2. Check the SQL query for syntax errors, such as missing or incorrect syntax, invalid characters, or incorrect table or column names.
3. Check if you are using reserved words in your SQL query and replace them with appropriate alternatives.
4. Replace obsolete commands with their updated counter parts.
5. Check if you are using the correct data type for the values you are inserting or updating.
6. Make sure you have added all the necessary data and that you are not missing any required fields.
7. Use an SQL validator to detect syntax errors in your SQL query.
8. Seek assistance from online forums or professional services if you are unable to resolve the error on your own.
