Recently, one of our customers approached us saying that he is getting MySQL Error code 1064 SQL State 42000. On checking, we found an error in the SQL syntax.

Now, let’s see the main causes for this Error 1064 SQL State 42000 and how our Support Engineers fix them.

 

1. Using Reserved Words

The reserved words perform some specific functions within the MySQL engine.

Sometimes we receive the error while using the reserved words,  The error occurs when the MySQL is not meeting the exact requirements for using the particular keyword.

Create Table alter (first name, last name);

The alter is a reserved word. To fix the error 1064 with the reserved word we specify the alter word within backticks.

Create Table 'alter' (first name, last name);

 

2. Outdated JDBC driver

When the JDBC driver initializes the connection, it sends several commands to the MySQL server. At that time we may receive the MySQL Error code SQL State 42000.

The problem is that the commands were deprecated for some time which results in the error.

We fix the error by upgrading the JDBC MySQL driver to the latest version.

 

3. Mistyping and Missing of Data

The 1064 error occurs when the data is not found in the database or mistyping the commands.

In case, if the data is missing from the database, we manually add the data to the database. Also, we make sure that all the commands are spelled correctly.
