Duplicate Rows When using insert into....

While I am working on the tutorial at SQLCourse.com I am using the following:

Code:

---

insert into jftest_1025 (first, last, title, age, salary)
values ('Jonie', 'Weber', 'Secretary', 28, 19500.00);

---

While this does insert the record into the table, Sometimes (actually most of the time), it creates two identical records rather than just one. I am doing something incorrect or is it just a bug with the SQL Interpreter? :confused:

How are you writing the script to do this? If you use either of these:

insert into jftest_1025 (first, last, title, age, salary)
values ('Jonie', 'Weber', 'Secretary', 28, 19500.00);

insert into jftest_1025 (first, last, title, age, salary)
values ('Jonie', 'Weber', 'Secretary', 28, 19500.00)
/

--then the statement is run once. If your code looks like this:

insert into jftest_1025 (first, last, title, age, salary)
values ('Jonie', 'Weber', 'Secretary', 28, 19500.00);
/

--then it will be run twice

I wrote it like:

Code:

---

insert into jftest_1025 (first, last, title, age, salary)
values ('Jonie', 'Weber', 'Secretary', 28, 19500.00);

---

and it entered each row twice (most of the time). Does it make a difference if you press the enter key prior to using the submit button on the SQL Interperter?

hello :)
just started the 'course' too.... well, first I thought I may input twice, but I have the same proble than JF: i re-created a new table, and all input is twice in the table... (which causes problems for the next exercises....

tia :)

cheers,
bs

PS: I input one by one, like:

insert into my_table
(first, last, titel, age, salary)
values ('jonie', 'Weber', 'secretary', 28, 19599.00);

so.... don't knwo what happened, but:

i deleted all my recs, and input one by one again, after each input i checked, and it appeared to be inputted ONCE this time. The last one appeared the 3 times, i just deleted these 3 lines and input the last one again, now all is 'unique'...

must be a little bug?
