For the member table, the CREATE TABLE statement looks like this:

CREATE TABLE member
(
member_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY (member_id),
last_name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
first_name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
suffix VARCHAR(5) NULL,
expiration DATE NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00',
email VARCHAR(100) NULL,
street VARCHAR(50) NULL,
city VARCHAR(50) NULL,
state VARCHAR(2) NULL,
zip VARCHAR(10) NULL,
phone VARCHAR(20) NULL,
interests VARCHAR(255) NULL
);

Type that statement into mysql or execute the following command to use the prewritten file from the sampdb distribution:

% mysql sampdb < create_member.sql

In terms of column types, most columns of the member table except two are not very interesting because they are created as variable-length strings. The exceptions are member_id and expiration, which exist to hold sequence numbers and dates, respectively.
