Question

I have 3 tables

customer, menu, and order.

The order table is suppose to join the customer and menu tables, and contains the primary keys of both. Here’s how I tried to create the order table on phpmyadmin.

create table order(
customerID int not null,
itemID int not null,
primary key (customerID, itemID),
foreign key(customerID) reference customer(ID),
foreign key(itemID) reference menu(itemID)
) 

This doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?!!

Answer 1

order is a reserved word, try another name, or quote it, like

create table `order`( 
    customerID int not null,
    itemID int not null,
    primary key (customerID, itemID),
    foreign key(customerID) reference customer(ID),
    foreign key(itemID) reference menu(itemID) )
