Better you post the complete SQL statement. Use 'Improve question': Editing a Question[^]

Probably you need to write a complete SQL statement: you don't just pass it values and hope it can work out what you wanted it to do with them!

Try this:

SQL

INSERT INTO MyTable (EmployeeBiodata
                    ,FirstName
                    ,LastName
                    ,Age
                    ,Country)
             VALUES (1002
                    ,'Daniel'
                    ,'Mfon'
                    ,40
                    ,'N')

And see if that helps.
