I am making a dynamic blog using flask but when i try to connect to the databse i get the error in the title. Here's my code.
Python
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from datetime import datetime

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mysql://root:@localhost/gamerhaven'
db = SQLAlchemy(app)


class Contacts(db.Model):
    sno = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(80), nullable=False)
    phone_num = db.Column(db.String(12), nullable=False)
    msg = db.Column(db.String(120), nullable=False)
    date = db.Column(db.String(12), nullable=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(20), nullable=False)

@app.route("/")
def home():
    return render_template('index.html')


@app.route("/about")
def about():
    return render_template('about.html')


@app.route("/contact", methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def contact():
    if(request.method=='POST'):
        '''Add entry to the database'''
        name = request.form.get('name')
        email = request.form.get('email')
        phone = request.form.get('phone')
        message = request.form.get('message')
        entry = Contacts(name=name, phone_num = phone, msg = message, date= datetime.now(),email = email )
        db.session.add(entry)
        db.session.commit()
    return render_template('contact.html')


app.run(debug=True)


And this is the error i get.
<pre>C:\Python\python.exe C:/Users/Swapana/PycharmProjects/flask/main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\admin\PycharmProjects\flask\main.py", line 10, in <module>
    class Contacts(db.Model):
  File "C:\Users\admin\PycharmProjects\flask\main.py", line 12, in Contacts
    name = db.Column(db.String(80), nullable=False)
TypeError: Column() got an unexpected keyword argument 'nullable'


I pretty much only know the basics of python and this error is driving me crazy for the past 2 days as i can't move forward with my project.

Please help.

What I have tried:

I have checked all the code for typos but i didn't find any. I searched for the solution on the internet but i guess no one has encountered a problem like this. I have posted on other similar sites but didn't get any replies.

nullable is only valid when creating the table

See python - How does `nullable=False` work in SQLAlchemy[^]

Thanks for replying but i found the problem.

I found the problem. Somehow “SQLAlchemhy” was not working properly. So i only had to uninstall and reinstall it. Giving this answer so that it could be helpful for someone in future.
