    create table emp
    (
    empno number(4) not null,
    ename char(10),
    job char(9),
    mgr number(4),
    hiredate date,
    sal number(7,2),
    comm number(7,2),
    deptno number(2) not null,
    foreign key(deptno) references dept(deptno)
    constraint emp_f,
    foreign key(empno) references emp
    (empno) constraint emp_self,
    primary key(empno) constraint emp_pri
    );

    @emp

    I get an error with the following message:
    constraint emp_f
    *
    ERROR at line 12:
    ORA-00907: missing right paranthesis

    I will be very grateful if anybody could tell me the problem.

    Thank u.

    Wrong syntax. Change that to:

    create table emp
    (
    empno number(4) not null,
    ename char(10),
    job char(9),
    mgr number(4),
    hiredate date,
    sal number(7,2),
    comm number(7,2),
    deptno number(2) not null,
    constraint emp_f foreign key(deptno) references dept(deptno),
    constraint emp_self foreign key(empno) references emp(empno),
    constraint emp_pri primary key(empno)

    );
