oh and i have the sql but when you execute it, nothing appears

this is the sql

CREATE TABLE news ( id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, postdate timestamp(14) NOT NULL, title varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', content text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id), KEY postdate (postdate), FULLTEXT KEY content (content) )
