Question

I am new to oracle,
I have created two tables using following queries,

CREATE TABLE employee
(
 emp_name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
 street VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
 city VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY(emp_name)
)

and

CREATE TABLE company
(
 comp_name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
 city VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY(comp_name)
)

Now I am trying to create another table using some foreign keys,

CREATE TABLE works
(
emp_name varchar(20) NOT NULL,
comp_name varchar(20) NOT NULL,
salary  int(10) NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY(emp_name) REFERENCES employee(emp_name),
FOREIGN KEY(comp_name) REFERENCES company(comp_name)
)

Getting ERROR : ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

I have also tried with

CREATE TABLE works
(
emp_name varchar(20) NOT NULL,
comp_name varchar(20) NOT NULL,
salary  int(10) NOT NULL,
constraint wemployee FOREIGN KEY(emp_name) REFERENCES employee(emp_name),
constraint wcompany FOREIGN KEY(comp_name) REFERENCES company(comp_name)
)

But getting same error.
Can any one tell me that where I am doing mistake?

Answer 1

I’m no expert in oracle, but are you allowed to specify the (10) in salary int(10) NOT NULL?
