Question

symfony propel:build-all

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 ‘Type=InnoDB’ at line 1 1

Answer 1

Fixed the issue. It seems that in the DDL, you can’t say “Type=InnoDB|MyISAM|Foo” anymore. You have to say “Engine=InnoDB|MyISAM” so edit one file

symfony/lib/plugins/sfPropelPlugin/lib/vendor/propel-generator/classes/propel/engine/builder /sql/mysql/MysqlDDLBuilder.php

Line 156, change it as follows:- $script .= “Engine=$mysqlTableType”;

Answer 2

A good (better) alternative to manually patching sfPropelPlugin is to upgrade to Propel 1.5 with the sfPropel15Plugin. It doesn't have this issue with MySQL 5.5
