Another explanation is that there was already something in your query buffer
when you entered that statement, so that together it caused a syntactically
incorrect statement, something like (in psql):

test=> insert
test-> insert into people (person_nbr,lname,fname,job_title,company_nbr,loc_nbr,
loc_phone_ext,direct_phone,direct_fax,cell_phone,email,active,comment) values
(6000,'No','Name',null,404,1,null,null,null,null,null,null,null);
ERROR: syntax error at or near "insert"
LINE 2: insert into people (person_nbr,lname,fname,job_title,company...
