I attempt to create this table from the command line and get the following error: Error 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL version for the right syntax to use near ''ad_id' smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, 'cat_id' smallint(5) unsign' at line 3 I'm typing this exactly as it appears but it's not working. I also try to create this table in phpMyAdmin: Field Type ad_id SmallInt 5 Length/Values 5 Charset Latin1 Attributes unsigned Null Not_null Default** ????? Extra auto_increment I'm not sure what to enter for Default**. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

My instincts are telling me I need 18 fields but I just need to > confirm. 17 would do, so long as you check the "primary" button on the first one (ad_id), but this would be much simpler to do with the mysql client. Connect with mysql -u root -p nameofdb replacing "nameofdb" with whatever you've named the database this table will belong to. After you've supplied the password and gotten in, enter CREATE TABLE nuke_zc_ads ( `ad_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, . . . ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ; In other words, copy what you have above and paste it in after entering the "CREATE TABLE" line. That's it -- you're done -- table created. You could do it with phpmyadmin, but it'll take awhile filling in all those boxes. > Any responses are appreciated.
