MySQL: Can't create table (errno: 150)

Question

I am trying to import a .sql file and its failing on creating tables.

Here\'s the query that fails:

CREATE TABLE `data` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NUL         


        

Answer 1

This error can occur if two tables have a reference, for example, one table is Student and another table is Education, and we want the Education table to have a foreign key reference of Student table. In this instance the column data type for both tables should be same, otherwise it will generate an error.
