mysql foreign key problem.
- by JP19
Hi,
What is wrong with the foreign key addition here:
mysql> create table notes ( id int (11) NOT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY, note_type_id smallint(5) NOT NULL, data TEXT NOT NULL, created_date datetime NOT NULL, modified_date timestamp NOT NULL on update now()) Engine=InnoDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> create table notetypes ( id smallint (5) NOT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY, type varchar(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE) Engine=InnoDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> alter table `notes` add constraint foreign key(`note_type_id`) references `notetypes`.`id` on update cascade on delete restrict;
ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table './admin/#sql-43e_b762.frm' (errno: 150)
Thanks
