Error 1064 - MySQL Workbench 6.3 Community

[Adnan Dossaji]

Hi all I am getting an Error 1064 on a statement. Not sure why I am getting it since I am using Workbench. I am using Server version: 5.6.24 MySQL Community Server (GPL). I have noticed that other people have the same issue, if this Workbench is generating the code, why are there syntax errors? Is there a permanent fix for this?

Here is my code

CREATE TABLE `app_cubs`.`ticket-status` (
  `category_id`  NULL COMMENT '',
  `event_date` DATETIME NULL COMMENT '',
  `event_name` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `request_num` INT NULL COMMENT '',
  `status` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `purpose` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `comp_ticket_request` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `paid_ticket_request` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `comp_ticket_approved` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `paid_ticket_approved` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `comp_ticket_fulfilled` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  `paid_ticket_fulfilled` VARCHAR(45) NULL COMMENT '',
  PRIMARY KEY (`category_id`)  COMMENT '');
