I am developing this restaurant site, and have come up with a table structure. I feel that there are mistakes in this table structure and the sql written for the mysql database. Question 1 I find that when i run this code at as whole(by copy pasting the complete code to phpmyadmin) it shows an error. But when i create tables one by one , i can create all 6 tables. I couldn't find the reason for this Question 2 Why can't i write restaurant_email VARCHAR - (Won't work for me) instead of restaurant_email VARCHAR( 80 ) -(Works for me) This is the sql i have written -- Database: db_restaurants CREATE DATABASE db_restaurants; ---------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `tbl_users` -- CREATE TABLE tbl_users ( user_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, firstname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, lastname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL, pass VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, gender ENUM('Male','Female') NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(user_id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; -------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `tbl_restaurants` -- CREATE TABLE tbl_restaurants ( restaurant_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, restaurant_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, location VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, cousin VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, price_range ENUM('very low','low','medium','high','very high') NOT NULL, address VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL, phone SMALLINT UNSIGNED, fax SMALLINT UNSIGNED, restaurant_email VARCHAR(80), open_hours VARCHAR(100), website VARCHAR(50), vision VARCHAR(300), mission VARCHAR(300), history VARCHAR(10000), faq VARCHAR(50000), PRIMARY KEY(restaurant_id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; -------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `tbl_menuitems` -- CREATE TABLE tbl_menuitems ( menu_item_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, menu_heading_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, restaurant_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, menu_item VARCHAR(100), small_price SMALLINT UNSIGNED, medium_price SMALLINT UNSIGNED, large_price SMALLINT UNSIGNED, PRIMARY KEY(menu_item_id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; -------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `tbl_menuheading` -- CREATE TABLE tbl_menuheadings ( menu_heading_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, menu_heading VARCHAR(100), menu_description VARCHAR(1000), PRIMARY KEY(menu_heading_id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; -------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `tbl_reviews` -- CREATE TABLE tbl_reviews( review_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, restaurant_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, user_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, review_title VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL, review VARCHAR(1000), food FLOAT NOT NULL, service FLOAT NOT NULL, valu FLOAT NOT NULL, atmosphere FLOAT NOT NULL, overall_rating FLOAT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(review_id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; -------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `tbl_gallery` -- CREATE TABLE tbl_gallery( gallery_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, restaurant_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, gallery_image VARCHAR(45), PRIMARY KEY(gallery_id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; Code (markup): All suggestions to improve this code are welcome This should be posted on the mysql section. I am sorry for that. "Administrator or moderators" - Please delete this post, since i have included the same post in the mysql section Again sorry for the mistake.
