ERROR 1215 (HY000) at line 13: Cannot add foreign key constraint - mysql

I get the following error:
ERROR 1215 (HY000) at line 13: Cannot add foreign key constraint
for the following query:
ALTER TABLE client_generique
ADD CONSTRAINT client_generique_boutique_id_boutique_id
FOREIGN KEY (boutique_id) REFERENCES boutique (id)
ON DELETE SET NULL;
The boutique.id is a primary key unique not null.
The phpmyadmin structure export of the boutique table is this:
--
-- Table structure for table `boutique`
--
CREATE TABLE `boutique` (
`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
`nom` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`identifiant_site` varchar(8) NOT NULL COMMENT 'the eight number identifier from the bank',
`certificate` varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'changes according to the mode, this will be used as salt in the sha1 that will be sent to the bank as the ''signature''',
`mode` varchar(10) NOT NULL COMMENT 'is the ''vads_ctx_mode'': TEST or PRODUCTION',
`payment_system` varchar(10) NOT NULL COMMENT 'CYBERPLUS OR PAYZEN for the new payment system added in end 2014'
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
--
-- Indexes for table `boutique`
--
ALTER TABLE `boutique`
ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
ADD UNIQUE KEY `unique_mode_per_identifiant_idx` (`identifiant_site`,`mode`);
I do not understand. What is the reason? How to solve this problem?

Could it be that your table client_generique stores values in boutique_id which do not exist in your table boutique?
Since you try to establish a reference to boutique the values must exist in that table.

Thanks for Philipp Dietl for the solution.
It's not possible to add a foreign key constraint with a set null on delete on a not null column.
I've just modified the boutique_id column to a BIGINT (but no BIGINT NOT NULL).

How to set up the tables without errors in phpmyadmin? [duplicate]

When I execute the follow two queries (I have stripped them down to absolutely necessary):
mysql> CREATE TABLE foo(id INT PRIMARY KEY);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> CREATE TABLE bar ( id INT, ref INT, FOREIGN KEY (ref) REFERENCES foo(id)) ENGINE InnoDB;
I get the following error:

Where the **** is my error? I haven't found him while staring at this for half an hour.
From FOREIGN KEY Constraints
If you re-create a table that was
dropped, it must have a definition
that conforms to the foreign key
constraints referencing it. It must
have the right column names and types,
and it must have indexes on the
referenced keys, as stated earlier. If
these are not satisfied, MySQL returns
error number 1005 and refers to error
150 in the error message.
My suspicion is that it's because you didn't create foo as InnoDB, as everything else looks OK.
Edit: from the same page -
Both tables must be InnoDB tables and they must not be TEMPORARY tables.
You can use the command SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS to get more specific information about the error.
It will give you a result with a Status column containing a lot of text.
Look for the section called LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR which could for example look like this:
------------------------
LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT'.
To create a foreign key ,
both the main column and the reference column must have same definition.
both tables engine must be InnoDB.
You can alter the engine of table using this command , please take the backup before executing this command.
alter table [table name] ENGINE=InnoDB;
I had the same problem, for those who are having this also:
check the table name of the referenced table
I had forgotten the 's' at the end of my table name
eg table Client --> Clients
:)
Apart form many other reasons to end up with MySql Error 150 (while using InnoDB), One of the probable reason, is the undefined KEY in the create statement of the table containing the column name referenced as a foreign key in the relative table.
Let's say the create statement of master table is -
CREATE TABLE 'master_table' (
'id' int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'record_id' char(10) NOT NULL,
'name' varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
'address' varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY ('id')
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
and the create syntax for the relative_table table where the foreign key constraint is set from primary table -
CREATE TABLE 'relative_table' (
'id' int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'salary' int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
'grade' char(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
'record_id' char(10) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY ('id'),
CONSTRAINT 'fk_slave_master' FOREIGN KEY ('record_id') REFERENCES 'master' ('record_id')
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
This script is definitely going to end with MySql Error 150 if using InnoDB.
To solve this, we need to add a KEY for the The column record_id in the master_table table and then reference in the relative_table table to be used as a foreign_key.
Finally, the create statement for the master_table, will be -
CREATE TABLE 'master_table' (
'id' int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'record_id' char(10) NOT NULL,
'name' varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
'address' varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY ('id'),
KEY 'record_id' ('record_id')
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
I had very same problem and the reason was the "collation" of columns was different. One was latin1 while the other was utf8
This may also happen if you have not given correct column name after "references" keyword.

why i Cannot add foreign key constraint in MySQL Workbench

i have customer table with nid_c,nama_customer, and more field ..
second table I have kendaraan with nopol,nid_c,nama_customer, and more field ..
I try make relation between this table..
I want update data nid_c and nama_customer on kendaraan table when I update customer table.
I got error message here.

Your problem is on one or both of these lines:
FOREIGN KEY (`NAMA_CUSTOMER` , `NID_C`)
REFERENCES `BengkelBiru`.`customer` (`NID_C` , `NID_C`)
^^^^^^^ Looks wrong s/b NAMA_CUSTOMER
I think you want this line:
REFERENCES `BengkelBiru`.`customer` (`NID_C` , `NID_C`)
to be
REFERENCES `BengkelBiru`.`customer` (`NAMA_CUSTOMER`, `NID_C`)
Why are you referring to NID_C twice in the reference? I say this because you define the foreign key as:
FOREIGN KEY (`NAMA_CUSTOMER` , `NID_C`)
and your descriptions at the top shows customer having NID_C and NAMA_CUSTOMER as columns.
However, fundamentally, why do you have Nama_customer in the kendaraan (vehicle) table at all? This doesn't seem to be 3rd normal form. You've repeated the customer name in a second table; which isn't part of the Customer's PK. Now, this may be acceptable if you want to keep the name of the customer at the time the entry is made into kendaraan; but since you're making it part of the FK... and doing cascade update/delete... it's very odd.
So maybe you just want:
FOREIGN KEY (`NID_C`)
REFERENCES `BengkelBiru`.`customer` (`NID_C`)
Assuming the Primary Key of Customer is NID_C
I dont think you can declare both at the same time. Try doing them separately.
CONSTRAINT `FK_NAMA_CUSTOMER`
FOREIGN KEY (`NAMA_CUSTOMER`)
REFERENCES `BengkelBiru`.`customer` (`NID_C`)
CONSTRAINT `FK_NID_C`
FOREIGN KEY (`NID_C`)
REFERENCES `BengkelBiru`.`customer` (`NID_C`)
There could be any possible scenario :-
1.Columns in the parent tables Can be INT UNSIGNED?
2.Data type in both tables should be same.
3.You are trying to reference a nonexistent key on the target table. Make sure that it is a key on the other table (it can be a primary or unique key).

ENGINE=InnoDB' at line 10 in SQL

I'm trying to create a table with this sql:
CREATE TABLE angestellte (
PersonalNr int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
Vorname varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Nachname varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Beruf varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Gehalt int(11) NOT NULL,
arbeitetInAbteilung int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (PersonalNr),
FOREIGN KEY abteilung (AbteilungID)
)
ENGINE=InnoDB;
But I get only the message
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ')
ENGINE=InnoDB' at line 10
I looked really can't find my mistake but think it's probably something obvious I just don't see.
Supposing you have a table where a field (arbeitetInAbteilung) references a row in another table (say arbeiten), you need to define it like this:
CREATE TABLE `angestellte` (
`PersonalNR` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
...other fields...
`arbeitetInAbteilung` INT(11) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`PersonalNR`),
INDEX `FK__arbeiten` (`arbeitetInAbteilung`),
CONSTRAINT `FK__arbeiten` FOREIGN KEY (`arbeitetInAbteilung`)
REFERENCES `arbeiten` (`arbeitID`)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB;
This means that an index will be created to index the field you specify (arbeitetInAbteilung). Then a constraint will be set in place so that this index is linked to the values of another field in a different table, which could be defined like this:
CREATE TABLE `arbeiten` (
`arbeitID` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`arbeitID`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB;
Note that the two fields must be absolutely identical; if they are text fields, they need to have the same collation; they must be both either NULL or NOT NULL; et cetera. The slightest difference will yield a "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed" error, and you'll need to show the engine status for InnoDB and parse its output to understand why.
The ON UPDATE and ON DELETE define what happens when you change a value in the master (arbeiten) table, or you delete it. If the ID 123 becomes 456, CASCADE means that all the rows that referred 123 will now refer 456. Another possibility would be to prevent the operation (RESTRICT), or set the mismatched rows to NULL (SET NULL).
As already commented, your FK syntax is total wrong.
FOREIGN KEY abteilung (AbteilungID)
should be
FOREIGN KEY some_column REFERENCES abteilung (AbteilungID)
Here, some_column should be replaced by the column which you want to designate as the referencing key and the definition of this column should exactly match with column AbteilungID of table abteilung

Changing both PK and FK column type using MySQL Workbench

I need to change a bunch of PK column types, and use MySQL's Workbench to design my database.
Is it possible to change the PK's type in a given table, and have all the FK types automatically change?
I performed to check the workbench. I created the table employees and employees_hobbies. The PK of tableemployees is id_employees the type INT(11). The employees_hobbies table has a FK id_employees the type INT(11). I tried to change the type of the field in id_employees of table employees for CHAR(5) and the error is as follows:
ERROR 1025: Error on rename of './teste/#sql-4aa_10875' to
'./teste/employees' (errno: 150) SQL Statement: ALTER TABLE
teste.employees CHANGE COLUMN id_employees id_employees
CHAR(5) NOT NULL
ERROR: Error when running failback script.
The error means (errno: 150)
MySQL error code 150: Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed
My tables:
CREATE TABLE `employees` (
`id_employees` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL,
`url_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id_employees`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
CREATE TABLE `employees_hobbies` (
`id_employees_hobbies` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`id_employees` int(11) NOT NULL,
`id_hobbies` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id_employees_hobbies`),
KEY `fk_employees_hobbies_1_idx` (`id_employees`),
KEY `fk_employees_hobbies_2_idx` (`id_hobbies`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_employees_hobbies_1` FOREIGN KEY (`id_employees`) REFERENCES `employees` (`id_employees`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION,
CONSTRAINT `fk_employees_hobbies_2` FOREIGN KEY (`id_hobbies`) REFERENCES `hobbies` (`id_hobbies`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
You can not do this in Workbench.
The solution is to generate the script and parse all FK performing the exchange type.
