Hi Sean, I'm a beginner like yourself, so unfortunately all I can respond with is as far as I know you use a comma to separate columns.
Andrew used the example: CREATE TABLE movies ( title VARCHAR(200), year INTEGER);

I have been taught that you separate column names with indenting and on a new line to help you be able to read the database information more easily. You also use a semicolon ( ; ) to end your CREATE statement when you're finished creating columns.
