    You’ve mixed up the syntax for defining column constraints with defining table constraints. Inside the parens after the table name, you should have a comma-separated list of column definitions, which are of the form “column_name column_type column_constraints” where the only required element is the column name. After the first comma, though, you have PRIMARY KEY (idEmployee), which is not a column definition. (Instead, it’s syntax appropriate for an ALTER TABLE command.) Check the syntax of the CREATE TABLE command here.
