Statement stmt SQL syntax error

[James Howerton]

Could someone look at my Statement stmt? is this error due to improper string creation?
Thanks

public String stmtCreateStudentTable =
            "CREATE TABLE student ("
            + "stu_uid CHAR(11),"
            + "stu_password CHAR(11),"
            + "stu_lname CHAR(20),"
            + "stu_mname CHAR(20),"
            + "stu_fname CHAR(20),"
            + "stu_gender CHAR(1),"
            + "stu_age INT(3),"
            + "stu_start_date DATE,"
            + "stu_end_date DATE,"
            + "stu_address CHAR(20),"
            + "stu_state CHAR(2),"
            + "stu_zip INT(5),"

            + "stu_phone INT(11),"
            + "payee_uid CHAR(11),"
            + "PRIMARY KEY(stu_uid)"
            + ")";

I'm not particularly familiar with the format of the CREATE TABLE command, especially since I have never ever had to write Java code to create a table, but without actually looking it up, that doesn't appear to me to be the right way to declare the primary key. Just doesn't seem right.

You didn't tell us which of the "(" characters is at position 149. We could copy the command and paste it into a text editor and count the characters, but then so could you.

Thanks
In MySQL it seems to can read the primary key like that but I used the alternative and it passed. Thanks for explaining how that error was working I didn't to count the characters to find the error.
