Syntax error, creating database - mysql

Question

I am trying to create database android_api and table users but I am getting error
#1064 - Something is wrong in your syntax near 'use android_api
create table 'users'(
id int(11) NOT NULL primary KEY AU' w linii 3
Here is the code
create database android_api
use android_api
create table users(
id int(11) NOT NULL primary KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
unique_id varchar(23) not null unique,
name varchar(50) not null,
email varchar(100) not null unique,
encrypted_password varchar(80) not null,
salt varchar(10) not null,
created_at datetime,
updated_at datetime null
);

Answer 1

You should separate each SQL statement with ;, otherwise your syntax is incorrect.
Here is the correct syntax:
create database android_api;
use android_api;
create table users(
id int(11) NOT NULL primary KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
unique_id varchar(23) not null unique,
name varchar(50) not null,
email varchar(100) not null unique,
encrypted_password varchar(80) not null,
salt varchar(10) not null,
created_at datetime,
updated_at datetime null
);
In your code what you did was actually:
create database android_api use android_api
(Which is not a valid CREATE statement).

Answer 2

Actually, the accepted answer is enough. This is a very small idea to share after running into the same problem as you report it, but in a beginner's tutorial Load PostgreSQL Sample Database in an SQL Shell.
In general, if you have the reported error in an SQL shell, and if you are not sure whether you have typed ; at the end of the last line, just type ; as a new command and press Enter to be sure that you type your next command in LINE 1 and not in LINE 2.
Without this "trick", some stupidity like this can happen:
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE dvdrental
postgres-# show databases
postgres-# create database dvdrental;
ERROR: syntax error at or near »show«
LINE 2: show databases
^
postgres=# create database dvdrental
postgres-# CREATE DATABASE dvdrental;
ERROR: syntax error at or near »CREATE«
LINE 2: CREATE DATABASE dvdrental;
^
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE dvdrental;
CREATE DATABASE
Finally working, as can be seen by the output CREATE DATABASE.
