Question

Hi I am trying to create a table using SQL in Mysql but I keep getting an error.Here is my code:

USE e-commerce
  CREATE TABLE `categories` (
`id` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`category` VARCHAR( 30) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `category` (`category`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

When I try to run this in phpmyadmin SQL console 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 'CREATE TABLE `categories` ( `id` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `category` ' at line 2

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Add semicolon after use

USE e-commerce;
CREATE TABLE `categories` (
  `id` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `category` VARCHAR( 30) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `category` (`category`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
