Question

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with this create statement for mysql?

EDIT: now it states the error is near: revised VARCHAR(20), paypal_accept TINYINT, pre_terminat’ at line 4

Thanks for the help everyone

Still errors after using sql beautifier though

CREATE TABLE AUCTIONS (   ARTICLE_NO      VARCHAR(20),   ARTICLE_NAME    VARCHAR(100),   SUBTITLE        VARCHAR(20),   CURRENT_BID     VARCHAR(20),   START_PRICE     VARCHAR(20),   BID_COUNT       VARCHAR(20),   QUANT_TOTAL     VARCHAR(20),   QUANT_SOLD      VARCHAR(20),   START           DATETIME,   ENDS            DATETIME,   ORIGIN_END      DATETIME,   SELLER_ID       VARCHAR(20),   BEST_BIDDER_ID  VARCHAR(20),   FINISHED        VARCHAR(20),   WATCH           VARCHAR(20),   BUYITNOW_PRICE  VARCHAR(20),   PIC_URL         VARCHAR(20),   PRIVATE_AUCTION VARCHAR(20),   AUCTION_TYPE    VARCHAR(20),   INSERT_DATE     DATETIME,   UPDATE_DATE     DATETIME,   CAT_1_ID        VARCHAR(20),   CAT_2_ID        VARCHAR(20),   ARTICLE_DESC    VARCHAR(20),   DESC_TEXTONLY   VARCHAR(20),   COUNTRYCODE     VARCHAR(20),   LOCATION        VARCHAR(20),   CONDITION       VARCHAR(20),   REVISED         VARCHAR(20),   PAYPAL_ACCEPT   TINYINT,   PRE_TERMINATED  VARCHAR(20),   SHIPPING_TO     VARCHAR(20),   FEE_INSERTION   VARCHAR(20),   FEE_FINAL       VARCHAR(20),   FEE_LISTING     VARCHAR(20),   PIC_XXL         TINYINT,   PIC_DIASHOW     TINYINT,   PIC_COUNT       VARCHAR(20),   ITEM_SITE_ID    VARCHAR(20),     PRIMARY KEY ( `ARTICLE_NO` )); 

The error is now near ‘CONDITION VARCHAR(20), REVISED VARCHAR(20), PAYPAL_ACCEPT TI’ at line 29

I really can’t see what is wrong, does TINYINT need a parameter?

Do MYSQL column names have to be capitals?

Answer 1

I believe the column names ‘START’ and ‘CONDITION’ are ‘special’ words in MySQL? All I did was simply paste the beautified code into Query Browser and noticed that some column names were ‘blue’… 😛
