Hi, In an attempt to create a staff table, I am getting the error shown below. Could someone please advise what is it that I need to do? Many thanks in advance.


mysql> CREATE TABLE staff(staffNo VARCHAR(4) NOT NULL, fName VARCHAR(25) NOT NUL
L, lName VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL, position VARCHAR(25), sex CHAR CHECK (VALUE IN('M
','F')), DOB DATE, salary DECIMAL(7,2), branchNo VARCHAR(4), PRIMARY KEY (staffN
o), FOREIGN KEY (branchNo) REFERENCES branch);
