Resolve the MySQL error 'TYPE=MyISAM'?

To fix the error, you just need to replace TYPE with ENGINE. The syntax to set the engine is as follows −

ENGINE = MyISAM;

The MySQL error occurs when TYPE is used. Let us see the same scenario while creating a table −

mysql> create table Customers
   −> (
   −> CustomerId int,
   −> CustomerName varchar(200)
   −> )TYPE = MyISAM;

The error is as follows −

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 'TYPE = MyISAM' at line 5

To resolve the above error, replace TYPE with ENGINE as shown below −

mysql> create table Customers
   −> (
   −> CustomerId int,
   −> CustomerName varchar(200)
   −> )ENGINE = MyISAM;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.24 sec)

The “ENGINE = MyISAM” in MySQL updates successfully.
