Why won't my query let me assign primary key? - mysql

Question

Just a note, I'm pretty new to SQL.
I'm using MySQL and using the app SequelPro.
I receive this error when I try to make a table:
"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)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8' at line 4"
This is the code I'm using to make my table:
CREATE TABLE klout_scores_3 (
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
score INT(11)
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Answer 1

score INT(11)
You want a comma , at end of that line.

Answer 2

Your query is being interpreted like this:
CREATE TABLE klout_scores_3 (
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
score INT(11) PRIMARY KEY
(id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
The (id) part is really confusing to MySQL and it's raising an error right there. Although adding a , after the INT(11) part will fix it, a better solution is to move the declaration:
CREATE TABLE klout_scores_3 (
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
score INT(11)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
It's a little concerning that you have a table name like klout_scores_3, as that suggests you have N of these tables. Relational database design and database normalization
rules strongly frowns on this, you should have a singular table with some kind of ..._id column to relate the scores to whatever record that 3 identifies.
