表创建语句中的MySQL语法错误

Question

This question is very straight forward. I have this MySQL error that I haven't been able to figure out, and I need some help finding it.

The full error:

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 ' release date NOT NULL, downloads INT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', f ' at line 6

The SQLStatement:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sdm_downloads
    (
        id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        project INT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
        name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
        release date NOT NULL,
        downloads INT NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
        filename varchar(40) NOT NULL,
        filesize varchar(40) NOT NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY(id)
    )

Thanks in advance for any, and all help.

Answer 1

You need to escape reserved words like release with backticks

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sdm_downloads
(
    id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    project INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
    `release` date NOT NULL,
    downloads INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
    filename varchar(40) NOT NULL,
    filesize varchar(40) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY(id)
)
