Transferring from sql developer to mysql - mysql

So i have a few tables in my database in Sql developer which I still have the queries from. If I try to put it in mysql it comes out with some errors so i'm wondering what is different and why is it not working like what would I need to change.
These are some of the tables I created in sql which i'm trying to create now in mysql:
create table EspecialidadesMedicas(
IdEspecialidad number(4) constraint pk_EspecialidadesMedicas primary key,
DescripcionEspecialidad varchar2(30));
create table Doctores(
IdDoctor number(5) constraint pk_Doctores primary key,
NombreDoctor varchar2(30),
Salario number(12,2),
Especialidad constraint fk1_Doctores references EspecialidadesMedicas);
create table Consultorios(
IdConsultorio number(4) constraint pk_Consultorios primary key,
Tamano varchar2(30),
Construido date);

Your first statement will become this:
create table EspecialidadesMedicas(
IdEspecialidad int primary key,
DescripcionEspecialidad varchar(30)
);
Your second statement is likely to become this:
create table Doctores(
IdDoctor int primary key,
NombreDoctor varchar(30),
Salario decimal(12,2),
Especialidad int,
constraint fk1_Doctores foreign key (Especialidad) references EspecialidadesMedicas (IdEspecialidad)
);
Your third statement will turn out to be:
create table Consultorios(
IdConsultorio int primary key,
Tamano varchar(30),
Construido date
);
Try this out in MySQL.

Your first table would look like this in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE `de`.`EspecialidadesMedicas` (
`IdEspecialidad` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`DescripcionEspecialidad` VARCHAR(30) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`IdEspecialidad`));
As you see, there are quite some differences in syntax, data types and features which can not all be covered here. (e.g. AUTO INCREMENT)
The easiest way to get into this is to use a toollike MySQL Workbench. It allows you to use a GUI to create your tables and displays the executed SQL. This way you see the differences.
I also suggest to read some migration tutorials like these:

Why are there are two rows in MariaDB database violating unique constraint?

I have written an application in Javascript which inserts data into two tables via a connection to a MariaDB server.
There should be a 1:1 correspondance between the rows in these tables when first running the application.
One table stores (simulated) data about properties, the other table stores data about prices. There should be 1 price for each property. At a later date, the price might change, so there could be more than one entry for the price, but this cannot happen when the application is first run. These entries also cannot be in violation of a unique index - but they are.
Perhaps I have misconfigured something in MariaDB? Here is the code which generates the tables.
drop table if exists property_price;
drop table if exists property;
create table property
(
unique_id bigint unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
web_id bigint unsigned not null,
url varchar(256),
street_address varchar(256),
address_country varchar(64),
property_type varchar(64),
num_bedrooms int,
num_bathrooms int,
created_datetime datetime not null,
modified_datetime datetime not null
);
create table property_price
(
property_unique_id bigint unsigned not null,
price_value decimal(19,2) not null,
price_currency varchar(64) not null,
price_qualifier varchar(64),
added_reduced_ind varchar(64),
added_reduced_date date,
created_datetime datetime not null
);
alter table property_price
add constraint fk_property_unique_id foreign key(property_unique_id)
references property(unique_id);
alter table property
add constraint ui_property_web_id
unique (web_id);
alter table property
add constraint ui_url
unique (url);
alter table property_price
add constraint ui_property_price
unique (property_unique_id, price_value, price_currency, price_qualifier, added_reduced_ind, added_reduced_date);
Below is a screenshot from DBeaver showing that a select statement returns two identical rows.
I don't understand why the unique constraint appears to be violated. The constraint does sometimes work, because if I run my application again, it fails because it attempts to insert a duplicate row which already exists in the DB. (Not the same as the one shown below.)
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I might debug this?
MariaDB permits multiple values on columns which form part of a unique constraint.
My solution would be to put the logic for checking for duplicate rows into the application, rather than this being on the database side. Essentially this means the unique constraint is not being used.

Referenced table is unexceptionally droppable

When I use this query:
CREATE TABLE users(
id int not null auto_increment primary key,
username varchar(30) not null unique,
email varchar(255) not null unique,
password varchar(255) not null
);
CREATE TABLE items(
id int not null auto_increment primary key,
name varchar(30) not null,
user_id int not null,
FOREIGN KEY user_key(user_id)
REFERENCES users(id)
);
DROP TABLE users;
It shows this error:
1217 - Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails
Which is alright because that is how mySQL database naturally reacts when we want to drop table that is referenced by other table that depends on it.
However, this same query shows no errors and actually drops users table on my pal's PC.
What could be the case? Is there a way to disable it?
You may be using different database engines. MyISAM and InnoDB have different FK support/enforcement, I believe. It could also be that the data in each of your tables is different.
If you want to drop a table that is a dependency of another table, though, the "right" way is to remove the FK from the dependent table and then drop the table that you want to.

making two columns primary key

Hello i have a table which has one primary key by the name of ImageID and i want to make another column
also primary key which is PropertyID means Composite Key
HERE IS THE CODE, but its showing this error for me "#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 '( PropertyID INT, ImageID INT primary key (PropertyID, ImageID) )' at line "
Also the ImageID is already primary key, but with varchar(15) specification.
Alter TABLE properties (
PropertyID INT,
ImageID INT,
primary key (PropertyID, ImageID)
);
Each table can only have 1 primary key. You can only have one primary key, but you can have multiple columns in your primary key.
Taken from W3Schools:
CREATE TABLE Persons
(
P_Id int NOT NULL,
LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
FirstName varchar(255),
Address varchar(255),
City varchar(255),
CONSTRAINT pk_PersonID PRIMARY KEY (P_Id,LastName)
)
Here the only primary key is pk_PersonID but that have stated that pk_PersonID is made up of P_Id and LastName.
Unique Indexes may be what you're looking for. This means unique values are required and runs like an index in that it can speed up queries.
Try this:
First drop the existing primary key
ALTER TABLE properties
DROP PRIMARY KEY;
Then add composite key
ALTER TABLE properties
ADD PRIMARY KEY(imageID, propertyID);
As I understand you already have a table with one key, which looks like the following:
CREATE TABLE `common`.`properties` (
`PropertyID` VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
`otherColumn` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`PropertyID`));
And now you want to add another PK column and change the type of existing PK column from char to INT. So you need to do it as following:
ALTER TABLE `common`.`properties`
CHANGE COLUMN `PropertyID` `PropertyID` INT NOT NULL ,
ADD COLUMN `ImageID` INT NOT NULL AFTER `otherColumn`,
DROP PRIMARY KEY,
ADD PRIMARY KEY (`PropertyID`, `ImageID`);
P.S. common is my schema name, you can use your own, or even skip it if your schema is default.

unwanted primary keys in a new sql table

I have bulid a new table in my SQL database with the following command :
Create Table if not exists Images (ImageID int (10) primary key NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
UserID int (10) NOT NULL,
Translated tinyint Default 0,
DeleteImage tinyint Default 0,
DataPosted date,
TheImage blob,
Translation text,
FOREIGN KEY (UserID) REFERENCES Users(UserID) ON DELETE CASCADE)
the table is been created just fine, but what i'm checking what was build i've found out that in the table the columns ImageID, TheImage, and Translation are defined as primary keys.
as the query is showing I want only the ImageId to be the primary key.
what's happening here?
tnx
Seems quite unlikely. It seems far more likely that something is wrong with whatever tool you're using to find out which columns are primary keys.
Actually, from the documentation - here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-table.html - it would follow that a MySQL table can only have one primary key. But even if not, why would you worry about it?

MYSQL in PHPMYADMIN - create table relationship from one table

I want to create a table relationship with MYSQL PHPMYADMIN.
I have this Create table:
CREATE TABLE students(code_students int(8)not null AUTO_INCREMENT,
name_students varchar(25),
age_students int(3),
degree_program varchar(25),
code_advisor int(8)not null,
primary key(code_students, code_advisor)
);
and i want to make a create table named advise relationship between code_students, code_advisor.
Ok this is my tryout.
CREATE TABLE advise (
code_students int(8),
code_advisor int(8),
primary key(code_students, code_advisor),
foreign key(code_students)references students(code_students),
foreign key(code_advisor)references students(code_advisor)
);
mySQL says :
A FOREIGN KEY constraint that references a non-UNIQUE key is not standard SQL. It is an InnoDB extension to standard SQL
Try adding the UNIQUE keyword to your first table:
CREATE TABLE students(
code_students int(8)not null unique AUTO_INCREMENT,
name_students varchar(25),
age_students int(3),
degree_program varchar(25),
code_advisor int(8)not null unique,
primary key(code_students, code_advisor)
);
Check out this sqlFiddle and see how it works, then try removing the UNIQUE keywords and see that you get the same error that you mentioned. ( Hit the Build Schema button )
