Question

I have been trying to figure out whats wrong for quite long time yet I fail.

The error I get is

1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘UNSIGNED CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT NULL, `Date’ at line 1

I cant seem to figure out whats wrong and this error seems to be quite common. Im not experienced with mysql, nor php for that matter.

Here is a screenshot, this is everything I enter:

Update #1:

(I have also tried picking nothing typing null, picking null typing nothing and these with that tickbox on and off)

Answer 1

That UI is nuts… Remove the ‘unsigned’ option for the ‘text’ column.

— Update —

If you were to create the same table manually:

create table `Win` (
    `No` int(4) unsigned auto_increment collate utf8_unicode_ci,
    `Text` text(1000) null default null collate utf8_unicode_ci,
    `Date` timestamp default on update current_timestamp collate utf8_unicode_ci,
    index(`No`),
    index(`Text`),
    index(`Date`),
    primary key(`No`)
) engine=InnoDB default charset=utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci;

Take a look at phpMyAdmin, I haven’t used it in years, but when I did it was a great GUI tool for administering MySQL schemas. You may also want to look at MySQL Workbench.
