I have a PostgreSQL database hosted on Heroku which is throwing me this error that I can't wrap my head around.
CREATE TABLE people (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, age SMALLINT, right_handed BOOLEAN)
SELECT 1 id FROM people WHERE age IN (1) AND right_handed IN (1)
It gives me the error:
Error in query: ERROR: syntax error at or near "IN"
Don't know how to proceed, any help would be greatly appreciated.
AUTOINCREMENT is not a valid option for CREATE TABLE in Postgres
You can use SERIAL or BIGSERIAL:
ALTER TABLE myTable ADD COLUMN myColumn BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY;

Create a table with a space in the name

I know what a syntax error is but cannot find any error when creating this table:
my code
CREATE TABLE branch supplier (
branch_id INT,
supplier_name VARCHAR(40),
supply_type VARCHAR(40),
PRIMARY KEY (branch_id, supplier_name),
FOREIGN KEY (branch_id) REFERENCES branch(branch_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
and the error I'm getting
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 'supplier ( branch_id INT, supplier_name VARCHAR(40), supply_type ' at line 1
It is not allowed to use table names with space(s) unless you use `. This means you need to change this to...
CREATE TABLE `branch supplier`...
or to something without space, as example
CREATE TABLE branch_supplier...
I'm doing a group project to learn SQL, I'm using jdoodle as an online IDE for now and w3schools. I feel so weird for asking this because this is literally my first attempt but I get an error.
CREATE DATABASE turing;
CREATE TABLE Suppliers (
SupplierNumber int,
SupplierName varchar(255),
SupplierAddress varchar(255),
);
Error: near line 1: in prepare, near "DATABASE": syntax error (1)
Error: near line 2: in prepare, near ")": syntax error (1)
I'm just like copying exactly what w3schools taught me?
I don't see any errors in here, But these are some best practises,
RUN the SQL queries one by one in case if that's causing the error. First create the Database and then Create the Table. Do both seperately.
CREATE TABLE Suppliers (
supplierNumber int PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
supplierName varchar(255),
supplierAddress varchar(255)
);
Best practise is to have the column names in lowerCamelCase.
Normally we don't use comma for the last line. It is Unnecessary
Having a Primary key for every table is good. Make it PRIMARY KEY and NOT NULL at the same time to prevent some error in the future.
I am currently working on a SQL assignment, but first I need to create tables which it is not letting me do. I have 3 tables which are Customer, PurchasedDeal, and Usage. I manage to create the first 2 tables successfully, but I am having a little difficulty with creating the Usage table. For some reason it is giving me this error.
Error at line 2:
ORA-00904: : Invalid Identifier
If anyone could help me understand why it is giving me this error I would really appreciate it. Thanks. It is saying it is having problems with uID INT and I am using putty to create these tables.
CREATE TABLE Customer(
CustomerID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerName VARCHAR(100),
Phone VARCHAR(15)
);
CREATE TABLE PurchasedDeal(
DID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
dealName VARCHAR(100),
cost FLOAT,
totalValue FLOAT,
balance FLOAT,
CustomerID INT,
FOREIGN KEY(CustomerID) REFERENCES Customer(CustomerID)
);
CREATE TABLE Usage(
uID INT,
uDate DATE,
cost FLOAT,
DealID INT,
PRIMARY KEY(DealID, uID),
FOREIGN KEY(DealID) REFERENCES PurchasedDeal(DID)
);
The term ‘uid’ is reserved in Oracle. This term cannot be used as a column name in the Oracle environment.
Query: SELECT uid FROM t1
Result: will execute correctly
Query: SELECT U.”uid” FROM x.t1 U
Result: will through error:
ORA-00904: “U”.”uid”: invalid identifier 00904. 00000 – “%s: invalid identifier”
Query: SELECT U.”UID” FROM x.t1 U
Result: will execute correctly as uid is replaced with UID (in capital)
Rectification in below table and we are good to go.
CREATE TABLE Usage(
uID1 INT,
uDate DATE,
cost FLOAT,
DealID INT,
PRIMARY KEY(DealID, uID1),
FOREIGN KEY(DealID) REFERENCES PurchasedDeal_test(DID)
);
I'm trying to use a simple CREATE TABLE statement to create a new table in my very first SQL-database. PHPmyadmin won't accept the code and gives me an error statement.
There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the syntax of my SQL command. In fact, I receive the same error statement when I copy and past an example code from any internet tutorial to create a table.
this is my SQL command:
CREATE TABLE Guestbook(
ID int AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
Name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Message TEXT NOT NULL,
Date datetime,
Sport varchar(30),
Practicioner BOOLEAN default 0,
)
This is the error statement:
Static analysis:
3 errors were found during analysis.
A symbol name was expected! (near "Name" at position 74)
Unexpected beginning of statement. (near "50" at position 87)
Unrecognized statement type. (near "NOT NULL" at position 91)
SQL query:
CREATE TABLE Guestbook( ID int AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, Name varchar(50) NOT NULL, Message TEXT NOT NULL, Date datetime, Sport varchar(30), Practicioner BOOLEAN default 0, )
MySQL said: Documentation
#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 ')' at line 8
I can't imagine why this won't work. I'd like to be able to use to command line in phpMyadmin. and this seems pretty straigtht forward. Yet I've been fiddling around with it for ages and I can't figure out how to create even the simplest possible table.
Can anyone help me out?
You should remove the last comma in your CREATE statement:
CREATE TABLE Guestbook(
ID int AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
Name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Message TEXT NOT NULL,
Date datetime,
Sport varchar(30),
Practicioner BOOLEAN default 0
)
I'm trying to execute this statement in onUpgrade method of database helper but I'm getting an error:
database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE VEHICLE_HOURS(ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
"MINUTES INTEGER, VEHICLE VARCHAR(255), ORDER INTEGER);");
ERROR
Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near "ORDER":
syntax error (code 1): , while compiling: CREATE TABLE
VEHICLE_HOURS(ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, MINUTES INTEGER,
VEHICLE VARCHAR(255), ORDER INTEGER);
Thanks.
ORDER is a reserved word in SQL. You could of course suppress that error by taking the name into quotes, like:
database.execSQL("CREATE TABLE VEHICLE_HOURS(ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, " +
"MINUTES INTEGER, VEHICLE VARCHAR(255), \"ORDER\" INTEGER);");
but better just pick another column name, then nobody (including your future self) will hate you while maintaining this code.
