Hi Though it is a simple question, i want help reg this. In the manual it is giving we can create table with foreign key and references table to make foreign key concept though it is not supporting the same. When i try to create the table with foreign key it is giving ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'order smallint(2), foreign key (code) references master(code))' at line 1 My query is: create table master(code varchar(10) not null, name varchar(20), primary key (code)) It is creating table correctly when i try to create this create table details(code varchar(10), scode varchar(20), order smallint(2), foreign key (code) references master(code)); I am getting the above error. I tried different options. Can u any of u send me the correct syntax with the example. My platform is Win NT.

If you really want, you can use it for column names by back-quoting it like `order`. You will have to do that in all your queries then and any middleware you use would have to do the same. So I suggest you use a different name.
