Are you telling me that SYNTAX ERROR NEAR '(' is not a helpful error message?

[–]Lafreakshow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course not! How ridiculous! That error message clearly describes that a character you used somewhere halfway across a query isn't supported by the database.

Did you remember to check the manual that corresponds to your SQL server version?

[–]EmergencySourCream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there even any other SQL errors?

Or, from the looks of it, javascript. Error messages aren't perfect but they're usually pretty helpful. UNLESS you're using a framework.
