CREATE TABLE

I am learning SQL using MS Access until I get SQL Server.

I am trying to create a table that includes time and date columns.

I receive the error: Syntax error in field definition.

Here is my code:

CREATE TABLE doughnut_ratings
(
location VARCHAR(50),
time DATETIME,
date DATE,
type CHAR(6),
rating VARCHAR(50)
comments VARCHAR(50)
);

How can I fix my code?

Thanks,

John

I believe your field names of Time, Date and Type are reserved words
in Access. Try simply changing them to "ThisDate", "ThisTime", etc

Though MS Access did NOT like my use of the column names time and date
so I changed them to e and d, respectively

Here is my code:

CREATE TABLE doughnut_ratings
(
location VARCHAR(50),
e datetime,
d date,
type CHAR(6),
rating VARCHAR(50),
comments VARCHAR(50)
);
