Question

I am getting strange errors while trying to create a simple database using isql tools from the Firebird package.

The same code for creating a table works for other tables with other names.
I’ve tried with and without quotes surrounding fields and table names, no success.

It is Firebird 2.5 server version.

The code I’m trying to execute:

SET SQL DIALECT 3;
SET NAMES UTF8;
CREATE DATABASE 'localhost:C:\fuzzdb.fdb' user 'SYSDBA' password 'masterkey'
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8;

CREATE TABLE RULES (
RULE_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,

CONSTRAINT PK_RULE_ID
PRIMARY KEY (RULE_ID),
);

CREATE TABLE VARS (
VAR_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
VRULE_ID INTEGER,
INPOUTP SMALLINT,
RANGE_STRT INTEGER,
RANGE_END INTEGER,
VAR_NAME VARCHAR(40),
FUZ_SET INTEGER,
CONSTRAINT PK_VAR_ID
PRIMARY KEY (VAR_ID)
);

CREATE TABLE FUZZSETS (
FS_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
FS_NAME VARCHAR(40),
INPOUTP SMALLINT,
PAR1 FLOAT,
PAR2 FLOAT,
PAR3 FLOAT,
PAR4 FLOAT,
PAR5_HEDGE INTEGER,
FUZ_SET INTEGER,
CONSTRAINT PK_FS_ID
  PRIMARY KEY (FS_ID)
);

CREATE TABLE FRULES (
FRULE_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
RULE_ID INTEGER,
VAR_ID INTEGER,
FS_ID INTEGER,
INPOUTP SMALLINT,  
CONSTRAINT PK_FRULE_ID
PRIMARY KEY (FRULE_ID)
);

CREATE TABLE LINK_RV (

CONSTRAINT FK_LINK_RV
PRIMARY KEY (LINK_RULES, LINK_VARS)

FOREIGN KEY(LINK_FRULE)
REFERENCES FRULES(FRULE_ID);

ALTER TABLE LINK_FRL_RL
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_LINK_RULE
FOREIGN KEY(LINK_RULE)
REFERENCES RULES(RULE_ID);

CREATE GENERATOR GEN_RULE_ID;
CREATE GENERATOR GEN_VAR_ID;
CREATE GENERATOR GEN_FS_ID;
CREATE GENERATOR GEN_FRULE_ID;

SET TERM ^ ;

I don’t get why it’s impossible to create the first table “RULES” although the commands are similar to other tables.
Even without all the triggers and foreign keys (alter table..) I am getting at leaast the last error.
it says “Unknown columns in index FK_LINK_FRL_FS” but no mention of other similar indexing tables.

I am just starting working with databases and it could be that I missed or mixed something,
but I tried to compile with too many changes and still getting errors.
I’ve found more or less similar code here

http://sergworks.wordpress.com/category/firebird/

and I was able to compile it without problems.
Could somebody point me in the right direction or show how it is done in another way?

Answer 1

You have an unnessesary comma in the end of the PK constraint:

CONSTRAINT PK_RULE_ID
PRIMARY KEY (RULE_ID),

So the parser expexts definition of field or constraint but it finds “)”. Delete the comma and you should be OK.
