Syntax error creating MySQL table

Question

Perhaps I'm just too used to Postgres but why am I getting this 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 '{ id int not null AUTO_INCREMENT, email varchar(100) not null, primary key(id' at line 1

when I run this?

create table `users`{
    id int not null AUTO_INCREMENT,
    email varchar(100) not null,
    primary key(id)
};

Answer 1

Use parenthesis (normal brackets) () not braces:

create table `users` (
    id int not null AUTO_INCREMENT,
    email varchar(100) not null,
    primary key(id)
);

Answer 2

the correct syntax is :

CREATE TABLE users (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(id) );
