please could you help me with this piece of code, I don't know what's wrong with it. It seems correct at simple glance but it just gets me #1064 syntax error. The MySQL version am running is 5.5
CREATE TABLE mytablename(
-> id SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
-> name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
-> submission_date NOT NULL TIMESTAMP,
-> PRIMARY KEY (id)
-> )ENGINE=InnoDB;
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 '-> id SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, -> name CHAR(100), ->
submission' at line 2


Remove those arrows and try escaping the column names with backticks:
CREATE TABLE mytablename(
`id` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
`submission_date` NOT NULL TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;

This is my code
CREATE TABLE mactor(
pid VARCHAR(30) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
fname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
lname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
gender VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (pid));
and this is the error
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'UNSIGNED NOT null AUTO_INCREMENT,
fname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
lname...' at line 2.
I am very confused and I don't want to use any other values as my primary key other than VARCHAR. please help!

Remove the UNSIGNED; unsigned can only apply to numeric types, not character or binary types. You will also need to get rid of AUTO_INCREMENT; you can't auto increment a character type.

Trying to create a table in MySQL workbench and I keep getting this error message "Error Code: 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"
Here is what I have input...what am I doing wrong?
create table members (
id varchar (255) primary key,
pswd varchar(255) not null,
email varchar(255) not null,
member_since timestamp default now() not null,
payment_due decimal (6, 2) not null default 0,
)
;

There is extra comma at the end.
Just remove it and everything works fine.
create table members (
id varchar (255) primary key,
pswd varchar(255) not null,
email varchar(255) not null,
member_since timestamp default now() not null,
payment_due decimal (6, 2) not null default 0)

SQL query:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS visitors (
id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
country varchar(500) NOT NULL,
coffee int(11),
tea int(11),
mate int(11),
cocoa int(11),
PRIMARY KEY id (int)
)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
MySQL said: Documentation
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 'int)
)ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1' at line 8

It is not the right syntax, try it like this :
INSERT INTO visitors (`id`,`country`,`coffee`,`tea`,`mate`, `cocoa`) VALUES (0,'Algeria','79','5','0','1');

I've been trying to create a table, and I can't figure out what's wrong with the syntax. Created other tables just fine. If you could enlighten me, I'd truly appreciate it!
CREATE TABLE `wp_ytvideos`( `ID` VARCHAR NOT NULL, `videoTitle` VARCHAR NULL, `videoOwner` VARCHAR NULL, PRIMARY KEY(`ID`))
Mysql response:
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'NOT NULL,
videoTitle VARCHAR NULL,
videoOwner VARCHAR NULL,
P' at line 2
Server version: 10.4.11-MariaDB - mariadb.org binary distribution

VARCHAR columns need a length specified at creation.
CREATE TABLE `wp_ytvideos` (`ID` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`videoTitle` VARCHAR(255) NULL,
`videoOwner` VARCHAR(255) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(`ID`))

Can someone tell me what is that I am doing wrong here!!!!

The column names should not be in double quotes, and the database engine should use an "=" sign rather than a hyphen.

try this
CREATE TABLE `DEPARTMENT` (
`ID` int(6) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`NAME` varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
