I tried to create a brand new table with codes:
MySQL [distributor]> create table order
-> (
-> order_num integer not null,
-> order_date datetime not null,
-> cust_id chat(10) not null
-> );
It generates errors:
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 'order
(
order_num integer not null,
order_date datetime not null,
cust_id chat(' at line 1
I have checked multiple times to ensure there no problems in my codes since SQL is case-insensitive.
What's the bug with my code?
There are two issues with your query: Firstly, order is a MySQL reserved word. Secondly, you have chat which should be char. Try this instead (renaming table to orders):
CREATE TABLE orders
(
order_num integer not null,
order_date datetime not null,
cust_id char(10)
);
order it's a reserved word and put char instead of chat. You can name the table orders

got this error message "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 'INSERT INTO 'employees1'"
Write your MySQL query statement below
create table employees1 (emp_id INT(6) UNSIGNED, event_day DATE NOT NULL, in_time int NOT NULL,
out_time int NOT NULL )
INSERT INTO 'employees1' ('emp_id', 'event_day', 'in_time', 'out_time')
values (1,20201128,4,32),
(1,20201128,55,200)
Please use a semicolon at the end of a statement, and use backticks for table names and column names. Those are fundamental rules which can be easily learned should you decide to spend a little more efforts.
create table employees1 (emp_id INT(6) UNSIGNED, event_day DATE NOT NULL, in_time int NOT NULL,
out_time int NOT NULL );
INSERT INTO `employees1` (`emp_id`, `event_day`, `in_time`, `out_time`)
values (1,20201128,4,32),
(1,20201128,55,200);
I try to create a table in MySQL:
mysql> create table order ( ID varchar(30) not null,
-> Cname varchar(100) not null,
-> name varchar(30),
-> Type varchar(30),
-> primary key(ID, Cname));
but an error occured:
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 'order ( ID varchar(30) not null, Cname
varchar(100) not null, name varchar(30), ' at line 1
I have checked for thousand time and I still find no error here.
Can anyone help me?
Its is because of the table name order.
There is an order by reserved word. Change the table name and it will work fine.
If you want order as table name use back ticks around the table name. It will workfine
I am getting a SQL query syntax error while creating a table. Here is the SQL query:
CREATE TABLE ACCOUNT (
ACCNO NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
BA L NUMBER(8,2) NOT NULL,
CREATION-DT DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( ACCNO )
);
Here is the 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 'NUMBER(5) NOT NULL.
What is wrong with my syntax?
Using SQLfiddle you can see this is not valid.
You have multiple problems with your syntax; invalid data types, invalid column names, etc. You can encapsulate the invalid names in backticks but then you will have to remember to encapsulate them later.
Instead of Number you probably meant numeric but i would suggest trying Integer instead.
Or just try this:
CREATE TABLE ACCOUNT (
ACCNO INTEGER(5) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
BAL INTEGER(8) NOT NULL,
CREATIONDT DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( ACCNO )
);
NUMBER is not a valid datatype in MySQL, you should choose the one from the list (maybe you've meant NUMERIC).
You should also escape some identifiers (in your case, column names BA L, which includes a space within it, and CREATION-DT, which includes a dash) with backticks ` in MySQL:
CREATE TABLE `ACCOUNT` (
`ACCNO` NUMERIC(5) NOT NULL,
`NAME` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`BA L` NUMERIC(8,2) NOT NULL,
`CREATION-DT` DATE NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ( `ACCNO` )
);

Creating a database for a class in PHP and MYSQL. Running into an error when creating the database, phpMyAdmin gives me a useless error message. (Software that gives a better error message would be awesome BTW)
phpMyAdmin 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 'CREATE TABLE customers ( customer_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL auto increment, fir' at line 1
USE isys288_gottfrk
CREATE TABLE customers ( customer_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL
auto increment, first_name carchar(20) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (customer_id), INDEX full_name (last_name, first_name) ) engine =
innodb;
There were several errors in your code.
USE isys288_gottfrk;
CREATE TABLE customers
(
customer_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL auto_increment,
first_name varchar(20) NOT NULL,
last_name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (customer_id),
INDEX full_name (last_name, first_name)
) engine = innodb;
I suggest you use a DB tool like MySQL Workbench to generate your tables. Then you can see the problems right away.
Juergen d edited your question for formatting, this might have helped you as well: Your initial statement was all on one line, so the error was flagged in that one line. If you edited it on multi lines (like in your question, or better in his answer) you might have gotten a better message, e.g. one that flags that the line containing carchar(20) contains a problem (it's even better the way he has it in his answer, but it correctly uses varchar(20), not flagging a problem)
Yes, it would be nice if error messages would immediately flag the problem, but sometimes it's already better when the input is formatted in a more human-readable way. I've tested the same with a multiline statement, mysql stated
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 'carchar(20)
Try this:
CREATE TABLE customers (
customer_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
, first_name VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL
, last_name VARCHAR (40) NOT NULL
, PRIMARY KEY (customer_id)
, INDEX full_name (last_name, first_name)
) ENGINE = INNODB ;
You can use some GUI clients like SQLyog for this.
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.
