Can anyone look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've looked up different ways to write it and changed it several times but keep getting different errors. I've pasted the current error, another one I've gotten is "missing left parenthesis" even when I have them all entered.
Error starting at line 1 in command:
CREATE TABLE book(
ISBN VARCHAR(10) PRIMARY KEY,
TITLE VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
AUTHORF_NAME VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
AUTHORL_NAME VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
LIST_PRICE NUMBER(5,2) NOT NULL,
QO_H INTEGER NOT NULL
)
Error at Command Line:1 Column:14
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object

*Cause:

You already have a book table in your database. Tablenames must be unique.

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'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 am currently trying to create a person table that allows a person to be either a client or a staff member. Currently this is my code :-
Create Or Replace Type Person As OBJECT
(
person_id number(5) not null,
firstname varchar2(15) not null,
surname varchar2(15) not null,
address1 varchar2(70) not null,
address2 varchar2(70),
address3 varchar2(70),
postcode varchar2(9) not null
);
/
Create Or Replace Type Client Under Person
(
marital_status varchar2(10),
no_of_children number(2)
);
/
Create Or Replace Type Staff Under Person
(
job_title varchar2(15) not null,
salary number(4,2) not null,
manager_id number(5) not null
);
/
Create Table Person Of Person
(
person_id Primary Key
);
The object types all compile but when it goes to create the table i get the following error:-
SQL Error: ORA-00902: invalid datatype
00902. 00000 - "invalid datatype"
what is causing this error to occur and what can be done to rectify it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
********EDIT**********
I have changed the name of the table to person_tbl and still get the same error. For some reason, this error now appears in the compiler log:-
Error: PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
Error(1,18): PLS-00905: object [ConnectionName].PERSON is invalid
I have no idea why it isn't letting me use the Person type as I have triede this method before successfully.
Don't know, why you get these error. You should get the error
00955. 00000 - "name is already used by an existing object"
when trying to create a table with the same name as a type.
Try
Create Table Persons Of Person
(
person_id Primary Key
);
You have a few problems. As #tonirush mentioned, you can't have more than one object in a database with the same name.
Additionally, the person type is compiling with errors (specifically PLS-00218: a variable declared NOT NULL must have an initialization assignment). Until you resolve these errors, you can't build an object table based on the object.
Your subtypes also have compilation errors: PLS-00590: attempting to create a subtype UNDER a FINAL type, but that's not relevant to the inability to create the object table.
As a footnote, the word "object" in this answer (and in Oracle databases, in general) is overloaded. In the first paragraph, I'm speaking of "database objects", which is pretty much anything that is created in the database with a create command. For the rest I'm speaking of "object types" which are object created by create type ... object specifically.
I'm new to SQL Server 2000 and face a problem. I want to make a new table but I encounter an error message with the following code:
create table Buku
(
Kode_Buku char(5) constraint PK_Kode_Buku Primary Key,
Judul_Buku varchar(10)not null,
Nama_Pengarang varchar(30) not null,
Penerbit varchar(30),
Kota_Terbit varchar(30) default,
Tahun_Terbit varchar(4) default,
Bahasa varchar(4) check,
Harga_Jual money,
)
and here's the error code:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'Buku'.
You have three problems:
You have multiple cases where you say default but don't specify anything
You have a check but don't specify anything
Your last column definition says money, with a trailing comma
Now, none of these lead to the exact error message you're getting, so maybe there is more you're not telling us (is there more code before the create table bit?), but these little syntax problems are far too localized to be useful in this Q & A format.
EDIT
I just ran this on a SQL Server 2000 instance and it worked just fine:
create table Buku
(
Kode_Buku char(5) constraint PK_Kode_Buku Primary Key,
Judul_Buku varchar(10) not null, -- added space here
Nama_Pengarang varchar(30) not null,
Penerbit varchar(30),
Kota_Terbit varchar(30), -- removed default here
Tahun_Terbit varchar(4), -- removed default here
Bahasa varchar(4), -- removed check here
Harga_Jual money -- removed comma here
)
So I'm not sure what you're doing differently, but I can't get the error message you are seeing with the information you've provided in the question. If you're still getting an error message with this code (and only this code), you'll need to provide more information, such as ##VERSION, what interface you're using to submit the create table statement to SQL Server, etc.
I've been trying to grapple with phpPgAdmin and am having difficulties. when trying to use the automated tool to create a table, I get the following error:
SQL error:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "(" at character 96
In statement:
CREATE TABLE "public"."business_secondary_category" ("id" SERIAL, "primary_category_id" integer(10) DEFAULT NULL, "secondary_category" character varying(150) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY ("id")) WITHOUT OIDS
This is how I set it up:
I can't figure out what I've done wrong. Link to character.
Try taking out the length specification for the primary_category_id column, postgresql doesn't support the type integer(10), only integer (aka int4)
