Immediately after the mysql_db_query line, use mysql_error() to return 
the mysql error message. I'll hazard a guess that it is because you 
haven't assigned a default value to your autoincrement field.

[PHP] mysql_db_query create table error

2001-09-11 Thread mkrisher

All,

I am trying to create a table in a mySQL database, seems like it would be
easy enough, but for some reason it is not working, below is the code:

// Query to create table and columns
$sql = "CREATE TABLE 'products' (
id  INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTOINCREMENT 
PRIMARY KEY,
description TEXT,
jewelery-type   VARCHAR(255),
catalog-number  VARCHAR(255),
price   VARCHAR(255),
stone-type  VARCHAR(255),
stone-color VARCHAR(255),
stone-cut   VARCHAR(255),
stone-clarity   VARCHAR(255),
stone-carat VARCHAR(255),
supplierVARCHAR(255),
metal-type  VARCHAR(255),
width   VARCHAR(255),
length  VARCHAR(255),
setting VARCHAR(255)
)";

// create connection
// substitute hostname, username and password
$connection = mysql_connect("mkrisher", "mkrisher", "") or die ("Couldn't
connect to server.");

// select database
// substitute database name
$db = mysql_select_db("richmondjewelers") or die ("Couldn't open
database.");

// execute SQL query and get result
$sql_result = mysql_db_query($db, $sql) or die ("Couldn't execute query!");

I always get the "Couldn't execute query" error, is there something else
that I should be doing, watching for permission issues or something?

Thanks in advance,
