Creating a new table in oracle

Question

I have the following the error in my sql program:

"ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

907. 00000 - "missing right parenthesis" and I have no idea where the bug is. This is my code:

DROP TABLE angajat;

CREATE TABLE angajat (
  id int(11) PRIMARY KEY,
  last_name varchar(64),
  first_name varchar(64),
  email varchar(64),
  department varchar(64),
  salary int(11) );

Answer 1

In Oracle Database you could code:

SQL> select banner from v$version where rownum=1;

BANNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production

SQL> CREATE TABLE angajat (
  2    id number(11) PRIMARY KEY,
  3    last_name varchar(64),
  4    first_name varchar(64),
  5    email varchar(64),
  6    department varchar(64),
  7    salary number(11) );

Table created.

SQL> 

But to be compatible with most Oracle existing code you should use VARCHAR2 instead of VARCHAR: see difference about VARCHAR and VARCHAR2.
