Syntax Error

ellifant · May 10, 2013

I receive the following error code:

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 'database ORBER BY id' at line 1

I am driving myself crazy trying to figure it out.

Database is probably a reserved word that you can't use as a table name. Just a guess.
