when we get something like this in QA:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Line 3: Incorrect syntax near ','.

I only have 3 lines inclusing only one insert. How do I know what value or keyword is wrong from the error message above.

Thanks

Check BOL for proper syntax

Generally, as and when you get more experience with such errors, your understanding of where the error is located - increases. Just a careful scrutiny should help you to locate the error.

Not too much you can do but if you break the statement down into more lines (put new lines after ever major part of the statement, like select, from , where, and group by all on different lines, and even put each column in the select on a new line) it sometimes makes it easier.
