cant figure out what im doing wrong?

Create a genres table called "tgenres" with an auto incrementing primary key called "pkid" and a unique column called "ukname" that can't be null. The "ukname" is a varchar of up to 45 characters.

and this is what typed

CREATE TABLE tgenres (pkid AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, ukname VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL UNIQUE KEY);

I even tried adding the INTEGER like this

CREATE TABLE tgenres (pkid INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, ukname VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL UNIQUE KEY);

Don't know if you still need the info, but this worked for me:

CREATE TABLE t_genres (pk_id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, uk_name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL UNIQUE KEY);

how about try this one:

CREATE TABLE tgenres (pkid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, ukname VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL UNIQUE KEY);
