I'm trying to create a database from an SQL Dump. I wrote it like this:
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS rsa_database;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `keys` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`public_key` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`private_key` varchar(30) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `user` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`firstname` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`lastname` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`date_of_birth` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`zip` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`city` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`street` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`number` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`tel` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
`k_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
FOREIGN KEY (k_id) REFERENCES keys(id)
);
But my MySQL Server throws this error message:
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 78: 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 'keys(id)' at line 1
I tried different notations and read some documentations, but I cant figure out my failure.
Thank you!
Since
keys
is a reserved word in MySQL, you need to quote it with backticks every time you reference the table namedkeys
