Error 1064 when trying to create a table

Question

Here is the code:

create table `team`.`User`( 
   `UserID` bigint NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , 
   `Username` text(30) NOT NULL , 
   `Email` text(30) NOT NULL , 
   PRIMARY KEY (`UserID`)
 )  Engine= [default] comment='' row_format=Default  

And the error message:

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
'[default] comment='' row_format=Default' at line 6

Can someone tell me why I'm getting this error and how to fix it?

EDIT: This code was automatically generated by SQLyog. It seems that the Engine bit is causing the problem. Does anyone know how to use SQLyog to set the default engine?

Answer 1

As far as I know, square brackets don't have any special meaning in MySQL. You're probably confused with some other DBMS.

Valid syntax for the ENGINE keyword is ENGINE [=] engine_name. E.g.:

ENGINE=InnoDB

... or

ENGINE InnoDB

If you don't care about the storage engine, remove the clause and MySQL will use the default.

Answer 2

If you want to use default engine you should try to remove Engine= [default] part.
Your query should be

CREATE TABLE `team`.`User`( 
   `UserID` BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , 
   `Username` TEXT(30) NOT NULL , 
   `Email` TEXT(30) NOT NULL , 
   PRIMARY KEY (`UserID`)
 )  comment='' 

Answer 3

Engine= [default], try with Engine= MyISAM, for example.

Answer 4

Your create query is fault. Take a look at the manual and what is the correct syntax for ENGINE
