Question

CREATE TABLE `photos` (
   `title` varchar(255) not null,
   `id` int(11) not null,
   `ph_path` varchar(255) not null,
   `description` varchar(255) not null,
   `privilange` varchar(20) not null,
   `owner` varchar(60) not null,
   `provoles` int(11),
   PRIMARY KEY (`id`),

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=greek;

I’m getting error 1064 <4200> and I’m not sure what is wrong.

Answer 1

You have a trailing comma in the primary key:

PRIMARY KEY (`id`), <--- remove that

The full error would read something like:

check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘) ENGINE=InnoDB

In MySQL, the position pointed to by the error message (near ')ENGINE) will show you the character immediately after where the error occurred. Look to the previous thing in your statement and you’ll find your syntax error.
