title: MySQL 'NOT NULL' Error
body: <p>I have question about 'NOT NULL' error. I need to make a table with variable type: 'SERIAL' and length of 7. Here is an error that SQL sends to me: </p>
  
  <p>SQL query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE TABLE  `table42`.`CheckOuts ` (
        `CheckOutID` SERIAL( 7 ) NOT NULL
  ) ENGINE = MYISAM ;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error that is returned:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>#1064 - 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 '(7) NOT NULL) ENGINE = MyISAM' at line 1</p>
