I have written this piece of code for use with Dbforge in CodeIgniter.
$fields = array(
'time_stamp' => array(
'type' => 'STRING',
'constraint' => 9,
'null' => TRUE
),
'curr_property' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'curr_property_cost' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'day_property' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'day_property_cost' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'curr_solar_generating' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'curr_solar_export' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'day_solar_generated' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'day_solar_export' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'curr_chan1' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'curr_chan2' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'curr_chan3' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'day_chan1' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'day_chan2' => array(
'type' => 'INT',
'constraint' => 5,
'unsigned' => TRUE,
'auto_increment' => TRUE
),
'day_chan3' => array(

)
);
$this->dbforge->add_field($fields);
$this->dbforge->create_table($this->table_name);
I keep on getting the following error
Error Number: 1064
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 'STRING(9) NULL, `curr_property` INT(5) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `curr' at line 2

I have looked for reasons related to the error no but I couldn't find anything related to my problem other than this link. Will be grateful if someone can tell me what is wrong.
STRING is not a valid data type in MySQL. I think you are looking for CHAR or VARCHAR.
