I land up in an error stating:
Error Code 1064: You have an error in your sqlsyntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB Server syntax for the right syntax to use
CREATE TABLE 'company'.'employee'(
'fname' VARCHAR (10) NOT NULL,
'mname' VARCHAR(2) NULL,
'lname' VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
'ssn' CHAR(9) NOT NULL,
'bdate' DATE,
'address' VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
'sex' CHAR NULL,
'salary' DECIMAL (10, 2) NULL,
'super_ssn' CHAR(9) NULL,
'd_no' INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ('ssn'));
Use ` instead of ' (single quote),
You should write it like the following :
CREATE TABLE `company`.`employee`(
`fname` VARCHAR (10) NOT NULL,
`mname` VARCHAR(2) NULL,
`lname` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
`ssn` CHAR(9) NOT NULL,
`bdate` DATE,
`address` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`sex` CHAR NULL,
`salary` DECIMAL (10, 2) NULL,
`super_ssn` CHAR(9) NULL,
`d_no` INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ssn`)
);
Actually, the ` symbol is optional, but it is used if the field names, tables, or databases are the same as keywords or MySQL clauses whose purpose is that MySQL is not confused with what you mean in the query.
For example :
SELECT column FROM `char`
I use ` symbol because the name of the table is the same as keyword on MySQL i.e CHAR() (but naming like that is a bad way), so keep in mind that if you write SQL Query you must decide to use the ` symbol
hope this can help you.

I'm trying to create a database in Ubuntu using MySQL in the command line, I need to create a table with the following data:
CREATE TABLE Vehicles (
Vehicle_ID int NOT NULL,
Vehicle_Type VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Model_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Engine_Size float(1,1) NOT NULL,
Condition VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Price float(9,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Vehicle_ID)
);
It just returns an error that says "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 'Condition varchar(255) NOT NULL,
Price float(9,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Vehicle' at line 6"
What is wrong with my code? The "Price" and "Engine_Size" columns need to only be a float/decimal values so they can't be varchar because I want to only be able to insert numbers.
This works:
CREATE TABLE Vehicles (
Vehicle_ID int NOT NULL,
Vehicle_Type VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Model_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Engine_Size int NOT NULL,
Vehicle_Condition VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Price numeric(9,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Vehicle_ID)
);
Notes:
For Price you seem to want numeric, not float, because you are specifying the precision and scale.
For Engine_Size, I have no idea what float(1, 1) is supposed to mean. I am guessing that int is an appropriate type.
Condition is a reserved word in MySQL, so I changed the name of the column.
The only apparent problem in your code is the use of 'condition' as a column name as condition is a reserved word in MySQL.
You can fix it in 2 ways:
Don't use 'condition' as a column name:
CREATE TABLE Vehicles (
Vehicle_ID int NOT NULL,
Vehicle_Type VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Model_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Engine_Size float(1,1) NOT NULL,
V_Condition VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, //Just an example feel free to use any another name
Price float(9,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Vehicle_ID)
);
Put 'condition' inside backticks (``)
CREATE TABLE Vehicles (
Vehicle_ID int NOT NULL,
Vehicle_Type VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Model_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Engine_Size float(1,1) NOT NULL,
`Condition` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
Price float(9,2) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (Vehicle_ID)
);
Hope this helps
I tried to make a database is phpmyadmin, but I keep getting an error.

Sorry for the mess, I can't get the code span to work.
Can somebody help me?
Following is the right syntax for create table in php, you can edit this code according to your table name,column name and it's datatype.
CREATE TABLE employee (
empId int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
empName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
empDept varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (empId)
)
I was trying to create a database using phpmyadmin but I keep on getting error
#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 ') NOT NULL,First Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,Last Name VARCHAR(30) NOT' at line 3
Im using Tomcat version 8.0. Below is the query I am Executing
CREATE TABLE `cs485_lab5`.`Orders` (
`Item Number` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`Price` DOUBLE(10) NOT NULL,
`First Name` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
`Last Name` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
`Shipping Address` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`Credit Card` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`CCN` INT(16) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Credit Card`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
Don't specify a length for DOUBLE. Also, if you are designing the table, don't put spaces in the column names. Use names that don't need escaping. Having to use escape characters just clutters up queries unnecessarily.
So:
CREATE TABLE Orders (
`ItemNumber` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`Price` DOUBLE NOT NULL,
`FirstName` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
`LastName` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
`ShippingAddress` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`CreditCard` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`CCN` INT(16) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`CreditCard`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
Here is a SQL Fiddle.
I am trying to create a table in my database via terminal.
Here is my syntax:
CREATE TABLE `users` (
PRIMARY KEY(id) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`last_name` VARCHAR NOT NULL,
`first_name` VARCHAR NOT NULL,
`gender` VARCHAR NOT NULL,
`fav_color` VARCHAR NOT NULL,
`birthdate` DATE NOT NULL
);
I am getting this 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 'NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`last_name` VARCHAR NOT NULL,
`first_name` VARCHA' at line 2
What am i dong wrong here?
Besides the issues that Jens and Marc pointed out, You have to declare the length of your Varchar fields in order for this statement to work, like so:
CREATE TABLE `test`.`users` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`last_name` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`first_name` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`gender` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`fav_color` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`birthdate` DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`));
the syntax of your create statement is wrong:
the correct one is this:
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`last_name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`first_name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`gender` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`fav_color` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`birthdate` DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(`id`)
);
For more Information see the offical documentation.
it should be
id int primary key auto_increment not null
You're trying to define a primary key on a field that doesn't exist. Keys cannot be "not null" and definitely cannot be "auto_increment".
Following is my query:
CREATE TABLE report_invoice(
'ID' INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'Invoice_No' VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
'Invoice_Type' INT(10) NOT NULL,
'Operator' VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
'Customer' VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
'Invoice_Date' DATE NOT NULL,
'Total' DECIMAL('10,2'),
PRIMARY KEY ('ID'));
I keep getting this 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 ''ID'
INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'Invoice_No' VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
'Invoic' at line 2
You're using single quotes around your field names, use backticks instead:
CREATE TABLE report_invoice(
`ID` INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`Invoice_No` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
`Invoice_Type` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`Operator` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`Customer` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`Invoice_Date` DATE NOT NULL,
`Total` DECIMAL(10,2),
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`));
Don't use simple quotes
You may replace them with backticks, or suppress them.
They would be usefull if you want to use reserved keywords as column names (bad idea anyway), or completely numeric column names, or special characters in column names.
So not in your case.
Don't put quotes around decimal scale and precision, too.
So this would do the job.
CREATE TABLE report_invoice(
ID INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
Invoice_No VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Invoice_Type INT(10) NOT NULL,
Operator VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Customer VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Invoice_Date DATE NOT NULL,
Total DECIMAL(10,2),
PRIMARY KEY (ID));
Remove the ticks or replace them with back ticks. Same for numbers.
CREATE TABLE report_invoice(
ID INT(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
Invoice_No VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Invoice_Type INT(10) NOT NULL,
Operator VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Customer VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Invoice_Date DATE NOT NULL,
Total DECIMAL(10,2),
PRIMARY KEY (ID));
CREATE TABLE report_invoice(
Id INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
Invoice_No VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Invoice_Type INT NOT NULL,
Operator VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Customer VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Invoice_Date DATE NOT NULL,
Total DECIMAL );
