This error indicates that there's an issue with the data type being inserted into your Budget column. Specifically, it is trying to insert a string value (Mathias Kuhlman) into an integer column, which isn’t permitted in SQL.

Breakdown of Your Code

Let’s take a closer look at the relevant parts of your code:
