I am trying to insert a DATE value into my table however I get the following error:

```
SQL Error: ORA-00984: column not allowed here
00984. 00000 -  "column not allowed here"

```

this is my statement:

```
INSERT INTO TstResults (tstcode, EmpID, fname, sname, tstDate, tstRslt)
VALUES ((Select tstcode from Tests where Freq ='6mnths')
       ,(Select EmpID from Employees where fname = 'Sam')
       ,'Sam'
       ,'Fisher'
       ,01-JUN-15
       ,'A');

```

Whenever I type in a date it gives me that above error. In the TstResults the tstDate column has a default value of sysdate. The only way I can out the data in the table is by removing the tstDate from the insert statement.

Use single inverted commas around the date.

```
INSERT INTO TstResults (tstcode, EmpID, fname, sname, tstDate, tstRslt)
VALUES
( (Select tstcode from Tests where Freq ='6mnths'), (Select EmpID from Employees where fname = 'Sam'), 'Sam', 'Fisher', '01-JUN-15', 'A');

```
You are missing quotes around the date:

```
INSERT INTO TstResults (tstcode, EmpID, fname, sname, tstDate, tstRslt)
VALUES ((Select tstcode from Tests where Freq ='6mnths')
       ,(Select EmpID from Employees where fname = 'Sam')
       ,'Sam'
       ,'Fisher'
       ,'01-JUN-15'
       ,'A');

```
