I created some tables using MySQL Workbench, and then did forward ‘forward engineer’ to create scripts to create these tables. BUT, the scripts lead me to a number of problems. One of which involves the foreign keys. So I tried creating separate foreign key additions using alter table and I am still getting problems. The code is below (the set statements, drop/create statements I left in … though I don’t think they should matter for this):

 SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
 SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='TRADITIONAL';

 DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS `mydb` ;
 CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `mydb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci ;

 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 -- Table `mydb`.`User`
 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `mydb`.`User` ;

 CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`User` (
   `UserName` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL ,
   `Num_Accts` INT NOT NULL ,
   `Password` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
   `Email` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
   `User_ID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   PRIMARY KEY (`User_ID`) )
 ENGINE = InnoDB;


 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 -- Table `mydb`.`User_Space`
 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `mydb`.`User_Space` ;

 CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`User_Space` (
   `User_UserName` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL ,
   `User_Space_ID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   PRIMARY KEY (`User_Space_ID`),
 FOREIGN KEY (`User_UserName`)
 REFERENCES `mydb`.`User` (`UserName`)
 ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE)
 ENGINE = InnoDB;

 SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE;
 SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
 SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;

The error this produces is:
Error Code: 1005 Can't create table 'mydb.user_space' (errno: 150)

Anybody know what the heck I’m doing wrong?? And anybody else have problems with the script generation done by mysql workbench? It’s a nice tool, but annoying that it pumps out scripts that don’t work for me.

[As an fyi here’s the script it auto-generates:

 SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
 SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='TRADITIONAL';

 DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS `mydb` ;
 CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `mydb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci ;

 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 -- Table `mydb`.`User`
 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `mydb`.`User` ;

 CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`User` (
   `UserName` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL ,
   `Num_Accts` INT NOT NULL ,
   `Password` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
   `Email` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
   `User_ID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   PRIMARY KEY (`User_ID`) )
 ENGINE = InnoDB;


 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 -- Table `mydb`.`User_Space`
 -- -----------------------------------------------------
 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `mydb`.`User_Space` ;

 CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`User_Space` (
   `User_Space_ID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
   PRIMARY KEY (`User_Space_ID`) ,
   INDEX `User_ID` () ,
   CONSTRAINT `User_ID`
     FOREIGN KEY ()
     REFERENCES `mydb`.`User` ()
     ON DELETE NO ACTION
     ON UPDATE NO ACTION)
 ENGINE = InnoDB;


 SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE;
 SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
 SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;
