Try this

CREATE TABLE FAQ(
id  int               NOT NULL IDENTITY,
Question     char(200),
Answer       char(300),
PRIMARY KEY (id));

I'm assuming we're talking about SQL? THat's what I'm referencing. IDENTITY
will make the ID field the primary Key and make it increment.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a database remotely.  This is the
code i'm using, but i want to add that the id is auto
incremented.  Whenever i try specifying that in
various different ways, it gives me an error!  Can
anyone tell me the right syntax to specify that i want
the id to auto increment?

the code:
CREATE TABLE FAQ(
id  int               NOT NULL,
Question     char(200),
Answer       char(300),
PRIMARY KEY (id));

i tried:
CREATE TABLE FAQ(
id  int      NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
Question     char(200),
Answer       char(300),
PRIMARY KEY (id));

and:
CREATE TABLE FAQ(
id  int       NOT NULL,
Question     char(200),
Answer       char(300),
PRIMARY KEY (id)
AUTO_INCREMENT (id));

none of those worked!
Heidi
