Solution 1

Take off the final comma:

SQL

"INSERT INTO audit (member_id, date_time, table, field, old_value, new_value) VALUES (@member_id, @date_time, @table, @field, @old_value, @new_value,)"

Becomes:

SQL

"INSERT INTO audit (member_id, date_time, table, field, old_value, new_value) VALUES (@member_id, @date_time, @table, @field, @old_value, @new_value)"

Ah! "Table" is a keyword, which means you can't use it as a column name without escaping it:
"INSERT INTO audit (member_id, date_time, table, field, old_value, new_value)...
becomes
"INSERT INTO audit (member_id, date_time, [table], field, old_value, new_value)...

See here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/reserved-words.html

Solution 2

how about this?
change this

"INSERT INTO audit (member_id, date_time, table, field, old_value, new_value) VALUES (@member_id, @date_time, @table, @field, @old_value, @new_value)"

to this

"INSERT INTO `audit` (`member_id`, `date_time`, `table`, `field`, `old_value`, `new_value`) VALUES (@member_id, @date_time, @table, @field, @old_value, @new_value)"

SQL

INSERT INTO audit (member_id, date_time, table, field, old_value, new_value) VALUES (@member_id, @date_time, @table, @field, @old_value, @new_value,)";

In your above query there is extra ','. Remove that and then run your query. and also you are taking your Column name which are already used as a Keyword.

Thanks
