Question

I’m using PDO and trying to make my application support both MySQL and SQLite, but in sqlite I get this error when I try to import my database schema:

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 near "AUTO_INCREMENT": syntax error

The query looks like this:

CREATE TABLE events (

  id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  name VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
  title VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
  description LONGTEXT,
  starttime DATETIME DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',

  PRIMARY KEY(id),
  KEY name(name)

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

(and it works in a MySQL database.)

I don’t understand what the problem is here? Shouldn’t both database systems be compatible?

In SQLite it’s called AUTOINCREMENT, not AUTO_INCREMENT
