所以我试图将外键约束添加到我的数据库作为一个项目需求,它在不同的表上工作了第一次或两次,但我有两个表,当我试图添加外键约束时,我得到了一个错误。 我得到的错误消息是:

错误1215 (HY000):不能添加外键约束

这是我用来创建表的SQL,两个有问题的表是Patient和Appointment。

当前回答

我有类似的错误与两个外键不同的表,但具有相同的键名!我重命名键和错误已经消失)

其他回答

引擎应该是相同的,例如InnoDB 数据类型应该相同,并且具有相同的长度。比如VARCHAR (20) 排序规则列字符集应该相同。例如utf8 注意:即使您的表具有相同的排序规则,列仍然可能具有不同的排序规则。 唯一的——外键应该是指引用表中唯一的字段(通常是主键)。

注意:下面的表格是从一些网站,当我做 数据库的一些研发。所以命名惯例是不正确的。

对我来说,问题是,我的父表与我正在创建的表具有不同的字符集。

父表(PRODUCTS)

products | CREATE TABLE `products` (
  `productCode` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `productName` varchar(70) NOT NULL,
  `productLine` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `productScale` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `productVendor` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `productDescription` text NOT NULL,
  `quantityInStock` smallint(6) NOT NULL,
  `buyPrice` decimal(10,2) NOT NULL,
  `msrp` decimal(10,2) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`productCode`),
  KEY `productLine` (`productLine`),
  CONSTRAINT `products_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`productLine`) REFERENCES `productlines` (`productLine`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

有问题的子表

price_logs | CREATE TABLE `price_logs` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `productCode` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
  `old_price` decimal(20,2) NOT NULL,
  `new_price` decimal(20,2) NOT NULL,
  `added_on` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `productCode` (`productCode`),
  CONSTRAINT `price_logs_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`productCode`) REFERENCES `products` (`productCode`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
);

修改为

price_logs | CREATE TABLE `price_logs` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `productCode` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
  `old_price` decimal(20,2) NOT NULL,
  `new_price` decimal(20,2) NOT NULL,
  `added_on` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `productCode` (`productCode`),
  CONSTRAINT `price_logs_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`productCode`) REFERENCES `products` (`productCode`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 

我的解决方案! !

如果我们想让table1的columnn1作为table2的外键,那么columnn1应该是table1的键。

例如,假设我们有一个部门表,其中有dept_id列。

现在,假设我们有另一个名为employees的表,其中有emp_dept_id列。

如果我们想使用部门表的dept_id列作为emp的emp_dept_id列的外键,那么部门表的dept_id至少应该是一个键,如果不是一个主键的话。

因此,在将deprment的dept_id用作另一个表的外键之前,请确保dept_id是一个主键或唯一键。

对我来说,它是-如果你为引用当前DB的非当前DB创建一个FK,你不能省略当前DB表的前缀:

USE currrent_db;
ALTER TABLE other_db.tasks ADD CONSTRAINT tasks_fk FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES currrent_db.users (id);

如果我省略了users表的" current_db .",我会得到FK错误。有趣的是显示引擎INNODB状态;在这个例子中什么都没有。

我将一个字段设置为“Unsigned”,另一个字段则没有。一旦我把两列都设置为Unsigned,它就工作了。
