我遇到了一个奇怪的问题。我试图添加一个外键到一个引用另一个表,但由于某种原因失败了。以我对MySQL有限的知识,唯一可能怀疑的是,在另一个表上有一个外键引用了我试图引用的表。
我已经在两个表上做了一个SHOW CREATE TABLE查询,sourcecodes_tags是带外键的表,sourcecodes是引用的表。
CREATE TABLE `sourcecodes` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`user_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`language_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`category_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`title` varchar(40) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
`description` text CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,
`views` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`downloads` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`time_posted` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `user_id` (`user_id`),
KEY `language_id` (`language_id`),
KEY `category_id` (`category_id`),
CONSTRAINT `sourcecodes_ibfk_3` FOREIGN KEY (`language_id`) REFERENCES `languages` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT `sourcecodes_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`user_id`) REFERENCES `users` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT `sourcecodes_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`category_id`) REFERENCES `categories` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=4 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
CREATE TABLE `sourcecodes_tags` (
`sourcecode_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`tag_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
KEY `sourcecode_id` (`sourcecode_id`),
KEY `tag_id` (`tag_id`),
CONSTRAINT `sourcecodes_tags_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`tag_id`) REFERENCES `tags` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
下面是生成错误的代码:
ALTER TABLE sourcecodes_tags ADD FOREIGN KEY (sourcecode_id) REFERENCES sourcecodes (id) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
