这样写会出错，要写成以下这样

CREATE TABLE `employee_inf` (  
  `id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,  
  `dept_id` INT(11) NOT NULL,  
  `job_id` INT(11) NOT NULL,

  `card_id` VARCHAR(18) NOT NULL,  
  `address` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,  
  `post_code` VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT NULL,  
  `tel` VARCHAR(16) DEFAULT NULL,  
  `phone` VARCHAR(11) NOT NULL,  
  `qq_num` VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT NULL,  
  `emall` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,  
  `sex` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',  
  `party` VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT NULL,  
  `birthday` DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,  
  `race` VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL,  
  `education` VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT NULL,  
  `speciality` VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT NULL,

  `remark` VARCHAR(500) DEFAULT NULL,  
  `create_date` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

  KEY `fk_emp_dept` (`dept_id`),  
  KEY `fk_emp_job` (`job_id`),  
  CONSTRAINT `fk_emp_dept` FOREIGN KEY (`dept_id`) REFERENCES `dept_inf` (`id`),  
  CONSTRAINT `fk_emp_job` FOREIGN KEY (`job_id`) REFERENCES `job_inf` (`id`)  
) ENGINE=INNODB AUTO_INCREMENT=4 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

原来以为问题出在关键字冲突，后来发现不是的，改成带有单引号的关键字后，发现通过了

所以是标准格式的原因
