create table Machine ( Machine_ID int primary key, Machine_Name varchar(30) Machine_Title varchar(30) ) create

create table Machine
(
 Machine_ID int primary key,
 Machine_Name varchar(30)
 Machine_Title varchar(30)
)
create table Part
(
 Part_ID int primary key,
 Part_Name varchar(30),
 Part_Description varchar(30)
)

//How do I make this table below?
create table Machine-Part
(
  Machine_ID int foreign key references (Machine.Machine_ID),
  Part_ID int foreign key references (Part.Part_ID)
  Factory_Note varchar(30);
) 

Mysql complains there is a problem with syntax?

Desired Result: have Table ‘Machine-Part’ use ‘Machine_ID’ & ‘Part_ID’ as both primary keys (which are both foreign keys).

    If you declare the constraint separately (table level), it makes more sense

    create table Machine-Part
    (
      Machine_ID int NOT NULL ,
      Part_ID int NOT NULL ,
      Factory_Note varchar(30) NULL,
    
      PRIMARY KEY (Machine_ID, Part_ID),
      UNIQUE INDEX (Part_ID, Machine_ID),
      foreign key (Machine_ID) references (Machine.Machine_ID),
      foreign key (Part_ID) references (Part.Part_ID)
    ) 
    

    Link tables almost always need a reverse index too
