This kind of errors arise when you have used incorrect syntax. Let us see an example wherein we have created a table and the same error “1054” arise.
Here’s the table −
mysql> create table DemoTable689( UserId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, UserName varchar(100), UserLoginDate date(100) NOT NULL );
This will produce the following output i.e. an error for incorrect syntax usage −
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 '(100) NOT NULL )' at line 5
Let us now fix the error 1054. For that, you need to use only DATE NOT NULL. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable689( UserId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, UserName varchar(100), UserLoginDate date NOT NULL ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.68 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable689(UserName,UserLoginDate) values('John',DATE(NOW()));
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.40 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable689(UserName,UserLoginDate) values('Chris','2018-01-21');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable689(UserName,UserLoginDate) values('Robert',CURDATE());
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable689;
This will produce the following output. Now, we have fixed the error −
+--------+----------+---------------+ | UserId | UserName | UserLoginDate | +--------+----------+---------------+ | 1 | John | 2019-07-21 | | 2 | Chris | 2018-01-21 | | 3 | Robert | 2019-07-21 | +--------+----------+---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
