Question

I am trying to create table with Foreign Key, but Netbeans is giving me SQLite exepction – syntax error:

AndroidRuntime  Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near "_id": syntax error: CREATE TABLE customer1 _id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT, info REAL, customer_a INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (customer_a) REFERENCES customer4 (_id);

Whilst, table customer4 in time of creating table customer1 exists, I am still getting syntax error. I have been looking on the web and I haven’t found anything stating, I have bad syntax. Do you see where is the problem?

Thanks

You’re missing parenthesis around your column names. You need to do something like this:

 CREATE TABLE customer1 (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, 
 name TEXT, info REAL, customer_a INTEGER REFERENCES customer4(_id));
