Question

I created this using MySQL WorkBench

CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `bakasura_new`.`cities` (
  `id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
  `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'City Name' ,
  `short_name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Short Name' ,
  `country_id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ,
  INDEX `fk_cities_countries` (`country_id` ASC) ,
ENGINE = InnoDB;

I am getting this error

Answer 1

You have a dangling comma here:

INDEX `fk_cities_countries` (`country_id` ASC) ,

And you also have a missing parenthesis at the end:

CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `bakasura_new`.`cities` (
  `id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
  `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'City Name' ,
  `short_name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Short Name' ,
  `country_id` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ,
  INDEX `fk_cities_countries` (`country_id` ASC)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
