Hello #1 noob here. I thought I know I’ll purchase myself a book. Being the modern world it was an ebook. A sitepoint one no less.
“Building your own database driven websites using php and mySQL”
I started. I started well. I came across this:
mysql> CREATE TABLE table_name (
-> column1Name column1Type column1Details,
-> column2Name column2Type column2Details,
-> ⋮
-> ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET charset;
I stopped. I stopped dead.
This has got to be something simple right? I suggest one of you know’s the answer.
I think it’s that little 3 dot thing. This has caught my intrigue. What’s it called? How did it become to be created? What does it mean? How can I get my keyboard to make one? Why would I want to?
Anyway, if anyone can help me I’d be utterly grateful and able to continue onwards to supremacy.
Many thanks for your time, you’re all wonderful human beings.
