I have never "hand coded" creation code for SQL Server and foreign key deceleration is seemingly different from SQL Server and Postgres...here is my sql so far:
drop table exams;
drop table question_bank;
drop table anwser_bank;
create table exams
(
exam_id uniqueidentifier primary key,
exam_name varchar(50),
);
create table question_bank
(
question_id uniqueidentifier primary key,
question_exam_id uniqueidentifier not null,
question_text varchar(1024) not null,
question_point_value decimal,
constraint question_exam_id foreign key references exams(exam_id)
);
create table anwser_bank
(
anwser_id uniqueidentifier primary key,
anwser_question_id uniqueidentifier,
anwser_text varchar(1024),
anwser_is_correct bit
);
when I run the query I get this error:
Msg 8139, Level 16, State 0, Line 9 Number of referencing columns in foreign key differs from number of referenced columns, table 'question_bank'.
Can you spot the error? thanks.
