i need to create a table and this the SQL queries
CREATE TABLE person {
per_id int(10) not null AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(256) not null,
clth_color varchar(256) not null,
per_photo varchar(256) not null,
age varchar(10) not null,
description text not null,
loaction varchar(256) not null,
type int(1) not null,
user_id int(10) not null,
primary key(per_id),
foreign key(user_id) references users(user_id)
};
but i get an 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 '{
per_id int(10) not null AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(256) not null,
' at line 1
Try using () instead {}
CREATE TABLE person (
per_id int(10) not null AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(256) not null,
clth_color varchar(256) not null,
per_photo varchar(256) not null,
age varchar(10) not null,
description text not null,
loaction varchar(256) not null,
type int(1) not null,
user_id int(10) not null,
primary key(per_id),
foreign key(user_id) references users(user_id)
);
I'm not entirely sure but it might work.

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".
This is the code. However I kept getting this 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 ')' at line 7
Weirdly line 7 is the CREATE TABLE academicnews( line. Which does not contain ')' .
CREATE TABLE academicnews(
anewsID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
title VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
anewsContent TEXT NOT NULL,
imagePath VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL,
timeNews DATE NOT NULL,
); #Line 7
Get rid of the last comma. It is unnecessary and invalid.
CREATE TABLE academicnews(
anewsID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
title VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
anewsContent TEXT NOT NULL,
imagePath VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL,
timeNews DATE NOT NULL, <-- HERE
);
It should be
CREATE TABLE academicnews(
anewsID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
title VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
anewsContent TEXT NOT NULL,
imagePath VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL,
timeNews DATE NOT NULL
);
You are getting this error bcoz of an addition comma.
CREATE TABLE academicnews(
anewsID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
title VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
anewsContent TEXT NOT NULL,
imagePath VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL,
timeNews DATE NOT NULL, <--- This is the error
);

`p3` int(3)DEFAULT select [p1]+[p2],

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,

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 );
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 ''comments' ( 'id' int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, 'article_i' at line 1
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'comments' (
'id' int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'article_id' int(10) NOT NULL,
'comment' varchar(45) NOT NULL,
'time' datetime NOT NULL,
'name' varchar(45) NOT NULL,
'email' varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ('id'),
KEY 'fk_comments_article'('article_id')
);
Does anyone see the syntax error?
Use backticks instead of single qoutes .Single qoutes are used for string literals.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `comments` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`article_id` int(10) NOT NULL,
`comment` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`time` datetime NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY fk_comments_article(`article_id`)
);
backticks ` are used to enable identifires be used a column name / table name if they happen to be Keywords in MySQL .
It is the recommended way as it is highly unlikely that we know all the keywords beforehand and may end up using one of keyword as our name for column/table like you have done for column time in your CREATE satement .
But you should avoid using keywords known to you as identifires.
Remove the single quotes. Try this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS comments (
id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
article_id int(10) NOT NULL,
comment varchar(45) NOT NULL,
time datetime NOT NULL,
name varchar(45) NOT NULL,
email varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY 'fk_comments_article'(article_id)
);
or try with back ticks:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `comments` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`article_id` int(10) NOT NULL,
`comment` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`time` datetime NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY fk_comments_article(`article_id`)
);
You are getting this error because when you write 'id' then it is treated as a string not a column which you intend
Remove Single quotes, tested below query in SQL Fiddle:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS comments (
id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
article_id int(10) NOT NULL,
comment varchar(45) NOT NULL,
time datetime NOT NULL,
name varchar(45) NOT NULL,
email varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_comments_article(article_id)
);
Remove '
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS comments (
id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
article_id int(10) NOT NULL,
comment varchar(45) NOT NULL,
time datetime NOT NULL,
name varchar(45) NOT NULL,
email varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY fk_comments_article(article_id)
);
Replace all of the single quotes ' with back ticks or simply remove the single quotes.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `comments` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`article_id` int(10) NOT NULL,
`comment` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`time` datetime NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `fk_comments_article`(`article_id`)
);
You have used single quotes which is worng and used for string only not for enclosing column names. Removethat and use backticks since you have some keywords like TIME, NAME:
Try:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `comments` (
`id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`article_id` INT(10) NOT NULL,
`comment` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`time` DATETIME NOT NULL,
`name` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`email` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY fk_comments_article(`article_id`)
);

What is wrong with the above SQL command in MySQL?
im getting
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 'TABLE
questions
(
qid INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
submitterId VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
appr' at line 1
There can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key.
BLOB/TEXT columns in key specification can't be used without a key length.
Thus, the correct SQL DDL shall be:
CREATE TABLE questions (
qid INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
submitterId VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
approverId VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
questionText TEXT NOT NULL,
answerA VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
answerB VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
answerC VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
answerD VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
difficulty INT NOT NULL,
category INT NOT NULL,
correctAnswer INT NOT NULL,
selectionProb INT NOT NULL,
status INT NOT NULL
);
An idtentity-column must be declared as PRIMARY or UNIQUE
Add PRIMARY KEY (qid) at the end of your query.
Make your AUTO INCREMENT NOT NULL and add PRIMARY KEY at the end.
CREATE TABLE questions
(
qid INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
submitterId VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
approverId VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL,
questionText TEXT NOT NULL,
answerA VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
answerB VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
answerC VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
answerD VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
difficulty INT NOT NULL,
category INT NOT NULL,
correctAnswer INT NOT NULL,
selectionProb INT NOT NULL,
status INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (qid)
