Re: error creating tables

Good rule - to debug try to run the same command on the command line of the terminal tool, you'll get better errors. But I suspect you have not said what the PRIMARY KEY is - typically you would say: PRIMARY KEY(f_name, l_name) or perhaps account whatever, it should be unique.
