508 Constraint Clauses
This is a minor point regarding the MYSQL listing in chapter 13 for creating new tables associated with the example application. The creation of the entityaddress, entitymail, entityphone, and entityemployee contain CONSTRAINT clauses.

My understanding is that by default MySQL uses the MyISAM storage engine for tables. This storage engine does not support foreign key constaints like the ones specified in the listings.

To get the constraints enforces a table type of innoDB would need to be specified using following syntax:
CREATE TABLE customers (a INT, b CHAR (20), INDEX (a)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
or
CREATE TABLE customers (a INT, b CHAR (20), INDEX (a)) TYPE=InnoDB;

The constraint statement will not cause an error if entered. MySQL will parser the statements, but they will be ignored.

524 Syntax Errors
Syntax error in the constraint statements:

CONSTRAINT fk_entityemail_entityid
FOREIGN KEY (entityid) REFERENCES entity(entityid)

This statement is trying to create a foreign key constraint to the table created on page 508, but this has been created with a table name of "entities" not "entity", hence the statement should read:

CONSTRAINT fk_entityemail_entityid
FOREIGN KEY (entityid) REFERENCES entities(entityid)
