Syntax error due to using a reserved word as a table or column name in MySQL
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm working on a group project and I'm trying to drop my database, but I'm receiving the same error, no matter how I try to manipulate what I wrote. Hopefully someone can help me understand where I went wrong.
For the
type VARCHAR NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR,
image VARCHAR,
I've tried adding in "DEFAULT NULL" and adding in numbers next to VARCHAR. I keep getting the same error message. I left it as what I put above because with my API, I don't want to restrict the amount of characters I'll be receiving when I call on it.
CREATE DATABASE recycleThis_db;
USE recycleThis_db;
CREATE TABLE materials (
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
type VARCHAR NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR,
image VARCHAR,
materialID INT(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
I keep getting this error message:
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR,
image VARCHAR,
materialID INT NOT NULL' at line 3
I believe VARCHAR requires a length specifier e.g. VARCHAR(10) or VARCHAR(250)
CREATE TABLE `materials`
( `id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
, `type` VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL
, `description` VARCHAR(255)
, ...
Reference: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/char.html
excerpt:
The CHAR and VARCHAR types are declared with a length that indicates the maximum number of characters you want to store. For example, CHAR(30) can hold up to 30 characters.

When to use single quotes, double quotes, and backticks in MySQL

I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong with this query:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'plaintext' (
'id' INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'name' VARCHAR NOT NULL,
'text' TEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ('id')
)
I am running MySQL version 5.7.14 on WAMP. I am getting this error:
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 ''id' INT NOT
NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 'name' VARCHAR NOT NULL, 'text' TEX' at line 2
When trying out the query in phpmyadmin it told me that a symbol name and column definition was expected near 'id' on line 2, and there is an unexpected beginning of a statement near 'id' at line 5.
No clue what this even means to be completely honest with you, I'm quite new to MySQL.
Thanks in advance!

I think that the issue is that you are not providing a size for your VARCHAR
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'plaintext' (
'id' INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'name' VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
'text' TEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ('id')
)
I am having a very strange issue with creating a table in mySQL. Every time I run the file I get this error:
"ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 36 in file: 'QStoreDB.sql': You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 8"
For this section of code:
CREATE TABLE customers
(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
address1 VARCHAR(160) NOT NULL,
address2 VARCHAR(160) NOT NULL,
cart INT,
);
This is the third table in my file. The other 2 are created with no issue using the same format. I have tried removing all comments, as you can see I have removed all of my constraints but even when I input the data in its most basic form (ie whats writen above this paragraph) it still doesn't run. I have also tried putting my field names in `` to no avail.
I am at a complete loss and scouring the internet has not helped me so I'm hoping some one here has experienced this as can point me in the right direction.
Whilst defining PRIMARY KEY you do not have to write INT NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE customers
(
id PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
address1 VARCHAR(160) NOT NULL,
address2 VARCHAR(160) NOT NULL,
cart INT
);
And there shouldn't be a comma at the end.

Equivalent of MSSQL IDENTITY Column in MySQL

I have a sql-server query and i want to run it (or create an equivalent query) on mysql. But currently i'm getting syntax error. Can anyone help me to create a mysql equivalent of the below mentioned sql-server query?
create table Emp(EmpName varchar(20) not null,keyword varchar(20) not null,
DOB datetime not null,Comments text(65535),EmpId int primary key IDENTITY(1,1));
Following is the error
ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'IDENTITY(1,1))' at line 1
CREATE TABLE Emp (
EmpId INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
EmpName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
KEYWORD VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
DOB DATETIME NOT NULL,
Comments TEXT(65535), PRIMARY KEY (EmpId)
);
You can use auto_increment .By default it will increase by 1.If you want any other increment you can specify your own.
It should be defined as auto_incremented primary key instead. For example:
CREATE TABLE Emp (
EmpId INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
EmpName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
KEYWORD VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
DOB DATETIME NOT NULL,
Comments TEXT(65535),
PRIMARY KEY (EmpId)
);
You can use an auto-increment field
I am having the following error when trying to execute the following code in phpMyAdmin. I am using WAMP Server with MySQL version 5.5.8 ::
The error is:
#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 'NUMERIC(6) not null, payee VARCHAR2(20) not null, amount DECIMAL(6,2) no' at line 3
the SQL is:
CREATE TABLE checks
(
check NUMERIC(6) not null,
payee VARCHAR2(20) not null,
amount DECIMAL(6,2) not null,
remarks VARCHAR2(20) not null
)
EDIT
I am also trying to execute this but it gives also error:
CREATE TABLE deposits
(
deposit NUMBER(8),
whopaid VARCHAR(25),
amount DECIMAL(6,2),
remarks VARCHAR(20)
)
You need to escape check with backticks since it is a reserved word. And in MySQL there is no varchar2 data type, just varchar.
CREATE TABLE checks
(
`check` NUMERIC(6) not null,
payee VARCHAR(20) not null,
amount DECIMAL(6,2) not null,
remarks VARCHAR(20) not null
)
Also replace NUMBER with NUMERIC in your 2nd create statement.
CREATE TABLE deposits
(
deposit NUMERIC(8),
whopaid VARCHAR(25),
amount DECIMAL(6,2),
remarks VARCHAR(20)
)
SQLFiddle example
See MySQL String data types and MySQL numeric data types
check is a reserved work, that's why you have this error
you need to put quotes around it
CHECK is a reserved keyword in mysql. If you choose a different name it should work fine.

Syntax error due to using a reserved word as a table or column name in MySQL

When I try to run this script I am getting an error at "range" if I remove or change the name I can run the script however the application need this column to store data. Any idea how to insert this into MySQL?
Error Code:
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 '"range" CHAR(5) NOT NULL, range_max_value NUMERIC(18,3)' at line 22
CREATE TABLE My_table (
chart_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
u_range CHAR(5),
l_range CHAR(5),
"range" CHAR(5) NOT NULL,
range_max_val NUMERIC(18,3),
range_min_val NUMERIC(18,3),
PRIMARY KEY (chart_id)
);
Range is a reserved keyword that needs to be escaped with backticks.
CREATE TABLE My_table (
chart_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
u_range CHAR(5),
l_range CHAR(5),
`range` CHAR(5) NOT NULL,
range_max_val NUMERIC(18,3),
range_min_val NUMERIC(18,3),
PRIMARY KEY (chart_id)
);
You should take a look at the reserved words list. Range is one of those words. You need to escape it with tick marks:
CREATE TABLE My_table (
chart_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
u_range CHAR(5),
l_range CHAR(5),
`range` CHAR(5) NOT NULL,
range_max_val NUMERIC(18,3),
range_min_val NUMERIC(18,3),
PRIMARY KEY (chart_id)
);
RANGE is a reserved word. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/reserved-words.html
