How can I add a foreign key when creating a new table?

Question

I have these two CREATE TABLE statements:

CREATE TABLE GUEST (
  id int(15) not null auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,
  GuestName char(25) not null
         


        

Answer 1

I will suggest having a unique key for the payment table. On it's side, the foreign key should not be auto_increment as it refer to an already existing key.

CREATE TABLE GUEST(
    id int(15) not null auto_increment PRIMARY KEY, 
    GuestName char(25) not null
)  ENGINE=INNODB;

CREATE TABLE PAYMENT(
    id int(15)not null auto_increment, 
    Guest_id int(15) not null, 
    INDEX G_id (Guest_id), 
    Foreign Key(Guest_id) references GUEST(id),
    BillNr int(15) not null
)  ENGINE=INNODB;
