Hi,

I have few mysql4 statements that I would like to convert to mysql 5
format. As you can tell, I am not a programmer. Any help will be
highly appreciated.

Thanks

CREATE TABLE resume (
id INT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT,
ip_addr INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
counter INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
last_update DATETIME NOT NULL,default 'now()',

PRIMARY KEY ( id ),

);

Whenever I execute it, I get syntax error with the defaul 'now()' ,
after doing some research I found that this now() function has been
replaced.

Help!!!!

Thanks in advance!

This statement fails in version 4 as well. Have you thought of reading
the relevant section of the manual and following the instructions? I
don't think the format of this statement has changed between the
versions.

It has? What research did you do? No one told me that it had been
replaced and it appears that no one told the developers either since I
am still using it in version 5 and so are lots of other people.

1: One comma too many
2: qouted 'now()' is a string, not a function call.

In other words, instead of:
NOT NULL,default 'now()',
try:
NOT NULL default now(),
