insert into employee values (1001, Paul, Engineer)
                                         *

Note: - In the above output string value has not enclosed with single quotes, To resolve this, Put the string value under single quotes and re-run the command again like below.

SQL> insert into employee values (1001, 'Paul', 'Engineer');
