When you try to create the database tables with the nuke.sql file (see Section 3.2.4), you get an error:
--
---------------------------------------------------------
--
--
CREATE TABLE confirm (
confirm_id char(32) NOT NULL default ",
session_id char(32) NOT NULL default ",
code char(6) NOT NULL default ",
PRIMARY KEY (session_id,confirm_id)
) TYPE=MyISAM
MySQL said:
You have an error in your SQL syntax near '---------------------------------------------------------
--
--
CREATE TABLE co' at line 2
|
This is because your nuke.sql file came with nice, useless long lines containing dashes, like these ones:
---------------------------------------------------------
|
Just use a decent text editor (see Chapter 11) and delete that long
line, or put a # in front of it. If that doesn't help, put a # in front of every line that starts with a dash, making it a comment. SQL accepts "--" as the string that starts a comment, but it seems
that MySQL does not like the rest of the dashes (after the first two ones) as a comment.
