MySQL Error Code: 1005 | 易学教程

问题

I am trying to add foreign keys to my table but receiving this error. Error Code: 1005 Can't create table 'william.#sql-88c_3' (errno: 150) I have 3 tables. employee, client and Contract.

employe [employee_no PK] , Client[customer_no PK] contract [contract_no PK] I want to have Foreign keys for contract as contract [contract_no PK, employee_no FK], customer_no FK]

I tried to do directly it failed, I am now trying the alter statement.Is anything wrong with the Alter script?

    ALTER TABLE contract
    ADD CONSTRAINT `employee_no_fk2` FOREIGN KEY (`employee_no`) REFERENCES `employee` 
    (`employee_no`);


   ALTER TABLE contract
    ADD CONSTRAINT `Customer_no_fk2` FOREIGN KEY (`Customer_no`) REFERENCES `client` 
    (`Customer_no`);

回答1:

Most of such error will be related to data type miss match or so.. If you could go through these links.. it might help you i guess.. Check-this ... also Check-this

As they say in the second link:

The first place you should look is whether the data types agree between the foreign key and primary key columns.

FOREIGN KEY(member_type)
REFERENCES common_lookup(common_lookup_id):
Cannot find an INDEX IN the referenced TABLE WHERE the
referenced COLUMNS appear AS the FIRST COLUMNS, OR COLUMN types
IN the TABLE AND the referenced TABLE do NOT MATCH FOR CONSTRAINT.

回答2:

make sure that one of the key field that you are trying to reference does not have an index and/or is not a primary key. and the two key fields type and/or size should be an exact match also make sure that both tables are InnoDB tables.

回答3:

This can happen due to two reasons

Table creation failed because a foreign key constraint was not correctly formed or
Datatype mismatch in the constraints.

the below link would be helpful

回答4:

Last time I encountered this, it was the constraints: referenced table key type was 'int' and referring table had 'unsigned int' referring field by mistake, instead of int.
