I have a table in a database that looks like this
I want to insert a new record. So I right click on my table, hover over 'script table as' and select the 'INSERT to' option
When I do this, I get this
My question is, what is wrong with this syntax? I seem to be getting an error before even trying to add anything. When hovering over the red lines, I get a message saying
'Incorrect syntax near <'
&
'varchar is not a recognized built in function name'
I assumed I would replace the second part with my data values. But I'm not sure.

If you want to add data to your SQL table, then you can use the INSERT statement. Here is the basic syntax for adding rows to your SQL table: INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,etc) VALUES (value1, value2, value3, etc); The second line of code is where you will add the values for the rows.
In SSMS Object Explorer, right-click the database. From the right-click menu, go to Tasks >> Generate Scripts... In the Generate and Publish Scripts pop-up window, press Next to choose objects screen. Now, the choose objects screen, choose Select specific database objects and choose the tables you want to script.
Now right-click the database then Tasks->Generate scripts. After that a window will open. Select the database and always check "script all objects in the selected database". It will generate a script for all the tables, sp, views, functions and anything in that database.
Script tables Use this option to either create the table or drop and create the table. You can also use this option to script the T-SQL associated with modifying the table. An example is to insert into it or update to it.
You need to input actual values.
INSERT INTO tab_name(First_Name, Last_Name, ...)
VALUES ('John', 'Smith', ...);
Replace <col_name, datatype> placeholder with actual data.
You can also Use Templates in SQL Server Management Studio to fill template values.
Query -> Specify Values for Template Parameters
or
Highlight your query and press CTRL+SHIFT+M
