Sql error syntaxes with phpmyadmin - mysql

Question

Good day,
I have an issue using the phpmyadmin for my database, I'm in new in this and this is the mysql structure from previewmysql:
CREATE TABLE `mydb`.`attendant`
(
`id` INT NOT NULL auto_increment,
`first_name` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`names` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`gender` ENUM(0) NOT NULL,
`email` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`phone` INT(15) NULL,
`marital_status` ENUM(0) NOT NULL,
`added_date` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`membership` ENUM(0) NOT NULL,
`address` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`suburb` ENUM(0) NOT NULL,
`partner_name` VARCHAR(25) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE `email_address` (`email`)
)
engine = innodb;
The error is:
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 '0) NOT NULL , `email` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL , `phone` INT(15) NULL , `marital_sta' at line 1
And also attached is my phpmyadmin table structure.
Will appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Try it.Hope errors goes boom.I just fixed your errors. But your table structure is not good enough. give time, then day by day you will also be expert on it.
CREATE TABLE `mydb`.`attendant`
(
`id` INT NOT NULL auto_increment,
`first_name` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`names` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`gender` ENUM('0','1') NOT NULL,
`email` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`phone` INT(15),
`marital_status` ENUM('0','1') NOT NULL,
`added_date` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`membership` ENUM('0','1') NOT NULL,
`address` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`suburb` ENUM('0','1') NOT NULL,
`partner_name` VARCHAR(25) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE `email_address` (`email`)
)
engine = innodb;

Answer 2

Modify ENUM declaration as ENUM ('male', 'female') for gender column and others also as shown in your table. It will not accept ENUM(0).

Answer 3

ENUM(0) is wrong format , if you want that for gender roles then you can use :-
ENUM('Male', 'Female') i.e you can run this query :-
CREATE TABLE `mydb`.`attendant`
(
`id` INT NOT NULL auto_increment,
`first_name` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`names` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`gender` ENUM('Male', 'Female') NOT NULL,
`email` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`phone` INT(15) NULL,
`marital_status` ENUM('Single','Married','divorced') NOT NULL,
`added_date` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`membership` ENUM('no','yes') NOT NULL,
`address` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
`suburb` ENUM('Cape Town','Woodstock') NOT NULL,
`partner_name` VARCHAR(25) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE `email_address` (`email`)
)
engine = innodb;

Answer 4

You have used ENUM data type in your table. And provided 0 as argument but
An enumeration value must be a quoted string literal
You can refer the mySql documentation for more information
