Check the Error Message: Take a close look at the error message as it can provide useful information about the syntax error.

Review the SQL Query: Go back and thoroughly review the SQL query that is causing the error. Double-check for missing or incorrect syntax, including typos, misplaced or missing quotation marks, incorrect spelling, missing commas, or semicolons.

Use Prepared Statements: Prepared statements can effectively prevent SQL injection attacks while also alleviating SQL errors. Prepared statements can cut down the complexity of SQL and bypass any syntax errors.

Use an SQL Validator: Use a validation tool in order to check your SQL for syntax errors. SQL Validator, as the name suggests, is an online program that validates SQL code.

Seek Expert Advice: Consider asking other professionals for assistance. If the issue fails to resolve, try connecting to SQL savvy experts or hire SQL experts that have experience in identifying and troubleshooting any SQL syntax issues.

Re-Install MySQL: If other solutions prove ineffective, it could be time to reinstall MySQL. Before taking this step, make sure to back up all data to avoid losing any essential information.
