＃1064 mysql语法错误

Question

I got this error report while importing my sql file.

this is the error report :

#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 '2) NOT NULL default '0.00', employerhdmf decimal(12,2) NOT NULL default '0.00'' at line 8

here's the code :

CREATE DATABASE kafik9; USE kafik9;

--
-- Table structure for table 'prlemphdmffile'
-- CREATE TABLE prlemphdmffile (   counterindex int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,   payrollid varchar(10) NOT NULL default '',  
employeeid varchar(10) NOT NULL default '',   grosspay varchar(12,2)
NOT NULL default '0.00',   employerhdmf decimal(12,2) NOT NULL default
'0.00',     employeehdmf decimal(12,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',    
total varchar(12,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',   fsmonth tinyint(4) NOT
NULL default '0',   fsyear double NOT NULL default '0',    PRIMARY KEY
(counterindex) ) TYPE=InnoDB;

there's anybody can help what is going wrong here? thanks in advance

Answer 1

First problem is varchar(12,2) . From your comment sounds like that is meant to be decimal . You need to change both occurrences to decimal(12,2) .

Next, TYPE=InnoDB needs to be ENGINE=InnoDB

This query will work:

  CREATE TABLE prlemphdmffile (   
     counterindex int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,   
     payrollid varchar(10) NOT NULL default '',  
     employeeid varchar(10) NOT NULL default '',   
     grosspay decimal(12,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',   
     employerhdmf decimal(12,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',     
     employeehdmf decimal(12,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',    
     total decimal(12,2) NOT NULL default '0.00',   
     fsmonth tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',   
     fsyear double NOT NULL default '0',    
     PRIMARY KEY(counterindex) ) ENGINE=InnoDB;

From the mysql documentation :

CREATE TABLE customers (a INT, b CHAR (20), INDEX (a)) ENGINE=InnoDB;

The older term TYPE is supported as a synonym for ENGINE for backward compatibility, but ENGINE is the preferred term and TYPE is deprecated.

It sounds like TYPE should still work even though it is deprecated, but it did not work on my machine. Changing to ENGINE did the trick.

Update

As pointed out in a comment by @eggyal, the above reference is from the mysql 5.0 docs. See the comment below for more information.

Answer 2

change these part

grosspay varchar(12,2) NOT NULL -> grosspay decimal(12,2) NOT NULL

total varchar(12,2) NOT NULL -> total decimal(12,2) NOT NULL
