Can we use “rank” as column name with MySQL8?
The rank is a MySQL reserved word defined in MySQL version 8.0.2. Therefore, you cannot use rank as a column name. You need to use backticks around the rank.
Let us first check the MySQL version we are working on. Here, I am using MySQL version 8.0.12 −
mysql> select version(); +-----------+ | version() | +-----------+ | 8.0.12 | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The issues by using “rank” as column name are as follows −
mysql> create table DemoTable1596 -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> StudentName varchar(20), -> rank int -> ); 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 'rank int )' at line 5
Above, an error is visible since we used reserved word as column name.
Let us first create a table and use backticks around “rank” to avoid error −
mysql> create table DemoTable1596 -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> StudentName varchar(20), -> `rank` int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.51 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1596(StudentName,`rank`) values('Bob',4567);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1596(StudentName,`rank`) values('David',1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1596;
This will produce the following output −
+----+-------------+------+ | Id | StudentName | rank | +----+-------------+------+ | 1 | Bob | 4567 | | 2 | David | 1 | +----+-------------+------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
