Error 1452 MySQL

Question

Inserting data into an empty table, but got error 1452. I am not sure why MySQL mentions the NameInfo table within the error.

CREATE TABLE NameInfo (
Language V         


        

Answer 1

Error 1452 indicates an insertion failed because a foreign key constraint couldn't be honoured.

Your query is inserting data into the Employee table, which has a foreign key constraint referring to the Departments table. If you haven't got a Department entry set up that the Employeee row refers to the insertion will fail.

You need to insert the Departments entries first, or your Employee insertions will fail this test.
