You shouldn't specify the column name when you specify the primary key column name directly inline with the column definition, so:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `default_test` ( 
 `default_test`.`id` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY  , 
 `default_test`.`name` LONGTEXT NOT NULL 
 );

Alternativly you could do:

  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `default_test` ( 
   `default_test`.`id` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , 
   `default_test`.`name` LONGTEXT NOT NULL ,
    PRIMARY KEY `default_test_id_pkey` (`id`)
   );
