Fix MySQL ERROR 1064 (42000) check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')'

This error may occur if you have used an incorrect syntax. Let’s say the following is the create table statement −

mysql> create table DemoTable1492
   -> (
   -> timestamp TIMESTAMP,
   -> event 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 ')' at line 5

You need to remove extra comma above after the event column to fix. Let us first create a −

mysql> create table DemoTable1492
   -> (
   -> timestamp TIMESTAMP,
   -> event int
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.44 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1492 values(now(),101);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1492 values(now()+interval 3 month,102);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

Display all records from the table using select command −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1492;

This will produce the following output −

+---------------------+-------+
| timestamp           | event |
+---------------------+-------+
| 2019-10-06 10:56:53 |   101 |
| 2020-01-06 10:57:07 |   102 |
+---------------------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
