I had the same idea: https://gist.github.com/913402

That's not a valid syntax for INSERT in MySQL. When you use the VALUE or VALUES keyword, it must be followed by a set of parentheses.

This is a valid syntax for MySQL:

    INSERT INTO servertypes SET server = 'Apache'

I recently learned about the INSERT SET syntax, and have started to use it across the board. Sooooo much more readable when column names and values are next to each other rather than separated. </offtopic>
