DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `rain-accounts`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `rain-accounts` (
  `rainID` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `AccountDate` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
 

INSERT INTO rain-accounts (rainID , AccountDate) VALUES ('5b6acefb' , '2018-08-08');
 

It was originaly

INSERT INTO rain-accounts (rainID , date) VALUES ('5b6acefb' , '2018-08-08'); But I thought that you may not be able to have a field called date.

The problem is your table name. To be more precise, the "-" in the name casue it to be interpreted as "rain minus accounts".

You need backticks around the name (or avoid hyphens in favour of underscores in identifiers).

Use DATE type, not varchar, for dates. Even though "date" is keyword, and better avoided, it would have been accepted as it is not reserved.
