"Cannot add foreign key constraint" error in MySQL - mysql

I keep getting this error and I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I
Error SQL query:
CREATE TABLE members

MySQL said:

INSERT INTO member_level VALUES ('a', 'admin');

member_level in table members is of type int, while in table member_level is of type CHAR(1).
They must be the same type.

I am getting an Error 1822 failed when trying to create MySQL tables

When I try and run this query, I get an error:
Error Code: 1822. Failed to add the foreign key constraint. Missing index for constraint.
However, based on other posts, I have ensured the data types were matching. Can someone please help me out? The issue is with the last table.

The Issue is on the creation of the last table. It references a PK for the bridging table. The foreign key uses Project ID PK but..
Your table Project doesn't have a primary key like the Programmer and Client Tables do

client_id int NOT NULL,

MySQL v5.7/5.6 Cannot add Foreign Key constraint

I tried putting this through db-fiddle and SQL fiddle Keep getting "Schema Error: Error: ER_CANNOT_ADD_FOREIGN: Cannot add foreign key constraint"
Everything works until I put the last table.

Try to use user Interface Instead and it could help you to solve this problem.
like this one:

#1005 - Can't create table 'EmployeeShifts' (errno: 150)

Here is the code below, I'm not sure what this error means...
All I know is that it has something to do with the employeeshifts table.
Does it have something to do with foreign keys?

You need to reference UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY column:
CREATE TABLE EmployeeShifts (
DesiredShift DATETIME NOT NULL,
EmployeeWorking VARCHAR(90) NOT NULL,
DateOfShift DATE,
PRIMARY KEY(DesiredShift, EmployeeWorking, DateOfShift),
FOREIGN KEY (EmployeeWorking) REFERENCES Employee(Name), -- name is not UNIQUE/PK
FOREIGN KEY (DesiredShift) REFERENCES Shifts(ShiftTime)
);
to:
CREATE TABLE EmployeeShifts (
DesiredShift DATETIME NOT NULL,
EmployeeID INT NOT NULL, -- here
DateOfShift DATE,
PRIMARY KEY(DesiredShift, EmployeeID, DateOfShift),
FOREIGN KEY (EmployeeID) REFERENCES Employee(EmployeeID),
FOREIGN KEY (DesiredShift) REFERENCES Shifts(ShiftTime)
);

Errno: 1452 Constraint

When I try to source these tables into MySQL, and it created all the tables. Then I start to populate the tables, and it will not let me populate the last table Rental_Invoice. Any suggestions?
The error is

Initial problem
Just a random guess since I don't have MySQL installed anywhere at the moment. But Client_ID in the dependent table is a VARCHAR and it refers to an INTEGER column in the parent table.
After Edit
The foreign key constraint is caused by inserting a row into Rental_Invoice that does not have a corresponding row in Client_Contact. In other words, your data violates the Rental_Invoice_fk_Client_Contact foreign key constraint that requires that Rental_Invoice.Client_ID refers to an existing row in Client_Contact with a matching Client_ID.
