mySQL Error

[adamFTW]

When I try to edit the database 'id', phpMyAdmin gives me the following error:

SQL query:
ALTER TABLE `petition` CHANGE `id` `id` VARCHAR( 30 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
MySQL said:
#1063 - Incorrect column specifier for column 'id'

I'm trying to edit it so it's auto increment.

I don't understand what you're saying, does that even have to do with this thread?

Well i got the same as them, I clicked this thread to view it and it asked for a cpanel password to deano.xplodehost.com or something?

Oh, just refresh, I took out the cpanel thinger.

EDIT: I even dropped the whole table and created a ne wone, with the following code:

CREATE TABLE `petition` ( `id` varchar( 30 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT '',
`name` varchar( 30 ) NOT NULL default '',
`grade` varchar( 30 ) NOT NULL default '',
`comment` varchar( 150 ) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY ( `id` )
) TYPE = MYISAM

And it still says incorrect column specifier. :S

Shouldn't have VARCHAR in it if i am correct

Try

ALTER TABLE `petition` CHANGE `id` `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment

No worries, fixed the problem a while ago. Thanks though!

Just out of curiousity..

Was i right? lol

[adamFTW]

I'm not sure, I fixed it a while before you posted.

You have to have it set as the primary index/key first.
