Question

When using the following code:

CREATE TABLE stats 
(
  username varchar(12), 
  starting text, 
  ending text, 
  UNIQUE (username)
)

OR

CREATE TABLE stats 
(
  username varchar(12), 
  starting text, 
  ending blob, 
  UNIQUE (username)
)

I get an error message:

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 ‘starting text, ending text, UNIQUE (username))’ at line 1

Am I doing something wrong? It worked perfectly fine before adding ending text inside the query.

Answer 1

starting is a reserved word, therefore you need to write it like this:

`starting` text
