Question

CREATE TABLE  `db`.`Complete` (

`CompleteId` MEDIUMINT( 8 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`HoursTaken` DOUBLE( 5 ) NOT NULL ,
`DateFinished` DATETIME NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM

I am trying to create this simple table, however, I get an error. The above code is the code generated by a UI for a MySql database.

I get 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 ') NOT NULL ,
`DateFinished` DATETIME NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM' at line 4

I am not sure what to change.

Answer 1

You need to add the precision to the DOUBLE datatype, it should be DOUBLE(5,n) I think.
