CCK installation error!

The following queries were executed
content module
Update #1004

Hey all,

I've looked through the (usual) packed Drupal posts, and can't find a simple explanation to how to solve this (so sorry if the solution has been discussed and solution posted to death -- I tried! :( ):

So I installed the 5.0 CCK module into my Drupal 5 website, and get the error saying that the script needs to be updated. So I run the update, and get this error:

user warning: 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 ')' at line 1 query: DELETE FROM node_field WHERE field_name NOT IN () in /home/meetuonc/public_html/vibeshare/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.
* Failed: DELETE FROM {node_field} WHERE field_name NOT IN ()

Followed by this table beneath:

Update #1005

* No queries

Update #1006

* No queries

fieldgroup module
Update #2

* ALTER TABLE {node_group} CHANGE settings settings mediumtext NOT NULL
* ALTER TABLE {node_group} DROP description

Update #3

* No queries

It says I have to manually update the database, but how, exactly, do I do this? What am I updating? Please send me to a post thread that succinctly explains this, because I'm a relative newbie to all of this!

Thank you!
