title: Unknown column in 'field list' MySQLSyntaxErrorException
body: <p>I am trying to populate a remote database but I am currently getting this error and I'm not sure how to fix this. The error refers to the first value I am trying to put into my table. I handled the events where <code>no eventID</code> would not be passed into the eventID table.</p>

  <p>This is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void loadToDatabase() {

      String usr = "username";
      String password = "";
      try {

          Statement stmt = Conn.createStatement();
          for (String i : eventIDs) {
              String sql = "INSERT INTO eventID VALUES (" + i + ");";
              stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
          }
          System.out.println("Insert complete");
      } catch (Exception e ) {
          e.printStackTrace();

  <p>My database simply consists of one column.</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql&gt; show tables in eventID;
