Question

I used the phpMyAdmin form to create a table, i.e. I filled in the fields and it generated the code. The code generated doesn’t work, but I can’t find the error. Any help would be appreciated.

Change
isActivated BOOL( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',

to

isActivated BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',

M indicates the maximum display width for integer types

Bool does not have this so you can’t specify width. it’s always 1
