Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20824 Project: Drupal Version: 4.6.0 Component: database system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: com4 Updated by: com4 Status: patch Yeah. I guess this is what I get for using alpha. ;) I post though to also note that you need to change types in the sql insert statements in the various modules to `types` with the backticks. This is a gimmie, but maybe someone will benifit from the "tip". com4 Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 19, 2005 - 03:44 : com4 when installing drupal, i get a wierd error. com4@antitech:~/drupal$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u jason -p jason < database/database.mysql Enter password: ERROR 1064 at line 120: 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 'types text NOT NULL ) TYPE=MyISAM' at line 11 com4@antitech:~/drupal$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql --version /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql Ver 14.3 Distrib 4.1.1-alpha, for intel-linux (i686) i noticed that if i changed 'types' to 'type' it wouldn't freak out. that'll obviously break drupal though, so i'm not quite sure what's going on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 19, 2005 - 03:57 : com4 http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.mysql.com/doc/en/Reserved_words.html Note types is on the list. If you continue reading Martin Francis replies "The way around this is to place backticks (`name`) around the table name and relevant column names" So, I guess the fix would be to change the line from types text NOT NULL to `types` text NOT NULL on line 130 of database.mysql. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ April 19, 2005 - 05:02 : clydefrog I have no trouble with mysql server version 4.0.24_Debian-2-log. This seems to be an early warning before 4.1 becomes popular.
