[RESOLVED] sql error

I am getting this error in MySQL Workbench:

Code:

---

Executing SQL script in server

ERROR: Error 1064: 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 ')

ENGINE = InnoDB' at line 5





-- -----------------------------------------------------

-- Table `mydb`.`dvd_collection`

-- -----------------------------------------------------

CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`dvd_collection` (

)

ENGINE = InnoDB



SQL script execution finished: statements: 5 succeeded, 1 failed

What is wrong with the sql?

I'm guessing maybe it does not like creating a table with no columns?

here is the full sql:

Code:

---

SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='TRADITIONAL,ALLOW_INVALID_DATES';

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `mydb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci ;
USE `mydb` ;

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `mydb`.`dvd_collection`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`dvd_collection` (
)
ENGINE = InnoDB;


-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `mydb`.`movies`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`movies` (
  `movie_id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
  `title` DATE NOT NULL ,
  `release_date` DATE NULL ,
  PRIMARY KEY (`movie_id`) )
ENGINE = InnoDB;



SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;

the tutorial that i'm following:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/...rkbench-en.pdf

I just tested it locally, and it worked fine once I added one column to the definition:

Code:

---

CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`dvd_collection` (
  `foo` INT(9)
)
ENGINE = InnoDB;

---

so what is it exactly saying is wrong with ')?

It's saying, in it's rather simpleton-like way, that its parser encountered a closing ")" at a point were it did not expect to find one (i.e., not until after at least one column has been specified).
