ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'Firstname' in 'field list'

I'M gettin the above error when I enter:

mysql> insert into people (fname, lname)
    -> VALUES (Firstname, Lastname);

Here's the table:

mysql> desc people;
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field       | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| fname       | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| lname       | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| phonenumber | varchar(10) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |

| zip         | varchar(5)  | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

Any ideas?

I'm more of an MSSQL person myself, but wouldnt you have to enclose the values in single quotes? In SQL, if you dont use the single quotes, SQL considers the value as a column name.

Missing quotes:

insert into people (fname, lname) VALUES ('Firstname', 'Lastname');

Yes you are right. I am dumb. Thanks.

import mysql.connector as sql

z='abc'
y='fhsvr'

mysql=sql.connect(host="localhost", user="root", passwd="root", database="data")

sqlc=mysql.cursor()
sqlc.execute("insert into reg_details(username, password) values(z,y)")
mysql.commit()

mysql.close()
