Hi, I have created a table name group.
CREATE TABLE `group` ( `group_id` int(11) NOT NULL, `group_name` varchar(128) NOT NULL, `date_created` datetime NOT NULL, `created_by` int(11) NOT NULL, `modified_by` int(11) default NULL, `status` char(1) NOT NULL default 'Y', PRIMARY KEY (`group_id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; The table was successfully created without any errors. After that when i try to describe it. Its giving error. mysql> desc group; 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 'group' at line 1 mysql> drop table group; 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 'group' at line 1 Does the problem is with table name.
