Mysql error when activating a plugin

I install plugins of late and they all install, no problem. Problem comes when i activate them, I get a white screen with the below error:
‘
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 ‘TYPE=MyISAM’ at line 9 on line: 1471′

Not just on, but all plugins, when I go back with browser, plugin is installed and activated and all looks fine. Been happening prior to 3.5 BTW, just thought it was a plugin when it first happened, but now im seeing it with all, so I thought I would ask if anyone seen this and know the cause, or better yet, the solution.

thanks
