[mysql] ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax;

I have a MySQL commands:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS courses;

USE courses

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS teachers(
    id INT(10) UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    name VAR_CHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    addr VAR_CHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    phone INT NOT NULL,
);

When I run it, I get an error:

ERROR 1064 (42000): 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 'VAR_CHAR(50) NOT NULL, addr VAR_CHAR(255) NOT
NULL, phone INT NOT NULL, )' at line 3

This question is related to mysql sql

The answer is


Try this:

Use back-ticks for NAME

CREATE TABLE `teachers` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `addr` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `phone` int(10) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

Use varchar instead of VAR_CHAR and omit the comma in the last line i.e.phone INT NOT NULL );. The last line during creating table is kept "comma free". Ex:- CREATE TABLE COMPUTER ( Model varchar(50) ); Here, since we have only one column ,that's why there is no comma used during entire code.
