Why is sql not letting me create this table? - mysql

Question

I'm trying to migrate a db
from: MySQL Distrib 5.5.60-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64)
to: MySQL 5.5.4, UNIX
I tried importing the db as a zip package and it started throwing errors so now I'm trying to re-create each table one at a time on phpMyAdmin.
The query below is throwing a #1064 Syntax error, and I'm having trouble figuring out the issue.
MySQL Said:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(2) ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(2),
`st' at line 6
I'm looking at line 6, trying to find any reserved words, missing data, typos, and or obsolete commands but no luck.
CREATE TABLE `tblmoto_auth_policies` (
`policy_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`policy_name` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`policy_desc` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`policy_url` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`date_added` timestamp(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(2) ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`status` smallint(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
PRIMARY KEY (`policy_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=4 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
I could use some help.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is not good
Try this:
CREATE TABLE `tblmoto_auth_policies` (
`policy_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`policy_name` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`policy_desc` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`policy_url` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`date_added` timestamp(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(2) ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(2),
`status` smallint(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
PRIMARY KEY (`policy_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=4 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

Answer 2

This works in SQL Fiddle:
CREATE TABLE `tblmoto_auth_policies` (
`policy_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`policy_name` varchar(50) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`policy_desc` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`policy_url` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`date_added` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`status` smallint(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
PRIMARY KEY (`policy_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=4 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
i.e., remove the precision (the (2)) from the definition of the date_added column.
TIMESTAMP(2) is valid syntax, but not in combination with the DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP nor ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP auto-initializers.
