simple sql create table syntax error

this might end in a down vote but I can´t see trees because of forest:

running this sql query:

CREATE TABLE `fontFamilies` (
  `id` INTEGER NULL AUTO_INCREMENT DEFAULT NULL,
  `name` VARCHAR NOT NULL DEFAULT 'NULL',
  `designer` INTEGER NULL,
  `firstLaunch` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `lastUpdate` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

I get following error in http://sqlfiddle.com/

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'NOT NULL DEFAULT 'NULL',
  `designer` INTEGER NULL,
  `firstLaunch` TIMESTAMP NU' at line 3

What is causing this error?

You must set the size of VARCHAR .

    CREATE TABLE `fontFamilies` (
  `id` INTEGER NULL AUTO_INCREMENT DEFAULT NULL,
  `name` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'NULL',
  `designer` INTEGER NULL,
  `firstLaunch` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `lastUpdate` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
  );

This will work .

SQLFiddle uses mysql. Try setting the size of varchar:

CREATE TABLE `fontFamilies` (
  `id` INTEGER NULL AUTO_INCREMENT DEFAULT NULL,
  `name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'NULL',
  `designer` INTEGER NULL,
  `firstLaunch` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  `lastUpdate` TIMESTAMP NULL DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

You can also add insert commands to the same window:

insert into `fontFamilies` values(217,'name',217,'1992-10-10 10:10:10','1992-10-10 10:10:10')
