STUCK: Keys and Auto-Incrementing Values Code Challenge (Database foundations: Stage 6)...

Here is the question: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/database-foundations/joining-relational-data-between-tables-in-sql/keys-and-autoincrementing-values-2

Here is my entry: CREATE TABLE t_genres (pk_id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, ADD COLUMN uk_name VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL UNIQUE KEY);

Returns an error that's a bunch of letters and numbers. I've stared at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-table.html trying to figure it out for about 15 mins now :X
