Question

I am trying to create the following table but it wont create??

use [TagHolderDB]
CREATE TABLE TBLSearchTags 
(
  TagID int(11), --NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  Tagterm varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  Tagcounter int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
  TaglastSearch datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (TagID),
  --KEY Tagterm  (Tagterm)
) --ENGINE=TagHolderDB;

The Current error is:

Msg 2716, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Column, parameter, or variable #1:
Cannot specify a column width on data type int.

There is also different errors when i move away the comments —

I need it all to work as i am following a tutorial, Could some one tell me what i’m doing wrong?

Errors when i remove the — comments:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near
‘AUTO_INCREMENT’.

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 9 Incorrect syntax near the keyword
‘KEY’.

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 10 Incorrect syntax near ‘=’.

If someone could explain to me what ENGINE does that would be great to.

Int datatype does not have length.

Try this:

use [TagHolderDB]
CREATE TABLE TBLSearchTags 
(
  TagID int, --NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  Tagterm varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  Tagcounter int NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
  TaglastSearch datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (TagID),
  --KEY Tagterm  (Tagterm)
) --ENGINE=TagHolderDB;
