It was the length of the string in second 'Value' column - it must be at most 255 characters.

I have code to add a table to MSP file: using (Database db = new Database(file, DatabaseOpenMode.Transact)) { ColumnInfo[] arrc = new ColumnInfo[2] { new ColumnInfo("Key", typeof(string), 32, true), new ColumnInfo("Value", typeof(string), 256, false) }; List<string> pk = new List<string>() { "Key" }; TableInfo ti = new TableInfo("_MyTable", arrc, pk); db.Tables.Add(ti); db.Commit(); } This code throws exception: Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.BadQuerySyntaxException: SQL query syntax invalid or unsupported. Database: Invalid or missing query string: CREATE TABLE `_MyTable` (`Key` CHAR(32) NOT NULL, `Value` CHAR(256) PRIMARY KEY `Key`). My problem is that I am unable to see what is wrong with this query.
