Error trying to create table in MySQL via terminal - mysql

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".

Mysql syntax Error when creating a table #1064

When I create a table in my localhost and it says
#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 'NOT NULL,

I've already try to change DB engine into InnoDB but the error was still appear.
Here is my Query
CREATE TABLE `inventry`.`users` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`username` VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
`email` VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
`password` VARCHAR(300) NOT NULL,
`usertype` ENUM(0) NOT NULL,
`register_date` DATETIME NOT NULL,
`last_login` DATETIME NOT NULL,
`notes` VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(`id`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
U P D A T E D******
I want store data in this field. but when i save this it getting error. How can i fix this.?

Try below -
CREATE TABLE users(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(300) NOT NULL,
usertype ENUM('0') NOT NULL,
register_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
last_login DATETIME NOT NULL,
notes VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
primary key (id)
)

CREATE TABLEinventry.users(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(225) NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(300) NOT NULL,

have an error when creating a table in phpmyadmin mysql

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,

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,

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,

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.

What is wrong with my code for phpmyadmin?

I tried to make a database is phpmyadmin, but I keep getting 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 '0) NULL,

That's for this code
CREATE TABLE `veilingen`.`Veilingen`(

) ENGINE = MyISAM;
Sorry for the mess, I can't get the code span to work.
Can somebody help me?

Following is the right syntax for create table in php, you can edit this code according to your table name,column name and it's datatype.
CREATE TABLE employee (
empId int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
empName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
empDept varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (empId)
)

#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 ')'

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
);

SQL syntax error, Can't find it?

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`)
);
