Workbench MySQL: table is not editable - mysql

I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE `cat_matches` (
`from_cat` int(11) NOT NULL,
`to_cat` int(11) NOT NULL,
`tag` char(10) DEFAULT NULL,
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`),
KEY `cat_matches_ibfk_1` (`from_cat`),
KEY `cat_matches_ibfk_2` (`to_cat`),
CONSTRAINT `cat_matches_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`from_cat`) REFERENCES `category` (`id`),
CONSTRAINT `cat_matches_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`to_cat`) REFERENCES `category` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2519 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
In a lot of other threads, people reply "in Workbench the table have to have a PK to be editable". But as you can see, this table contains a column called id which is the PK, and is still not editable. Why?

How to fix 'MySQL Error: 1822. Missing index for contraint' On creating a composite foreign key

I'm trying to create a table with a composite foreign key, but keep getting met with the error Error Code: 1822. Failed to add the foreign key constraint. Missing index for constraint 'fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_multiple' in the referenced table 'contractdates'
I'm using MySQL v8.0.16
I've checked if the column types are different, and I'm not sure what else could be the problem.
Here are the tables that make up the problem, All tables are made happily but the last one that contains the composite key causes the problem.
CREATE TABLE `contracts` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`Name` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`CreationDate` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`CreatedBy` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL,
`CompletionDate` date DEFAULT NULL,
`Comments` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
CREATE TABLE `fieldheading` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`fieldTypeID` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`fieldCode` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`fieldHeading` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
);
CREATE TABLE `contractdates` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`DateValue` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`ContractID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`FieldHeadingID` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
UNIQUE KEY `uq_contractdates_contractID_FieldHeading_ID` (`ContractID`,`FieldHeadingID`),
KEY `fk_contractdates_contracts_id_idx` (`ContractID`),
KEY `fk_contractdates_fieldheading_id_idx` (`FieldHeadingID`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdates_fieldheading_id` FOREIGN KEY (`FieldHeadingID`) REFERENCES `fieldheading` (`id`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdates_contracts_id` FOREIGN KEY (`ContractID`) REFERENCES `contracts` (`id`)
) COMMENT='Table to hold the dates for a contract, one row is one date for a specific contract';
CREATE TABLE `contractdateshistoric` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`ContractID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`ContractDateCurrentID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`FieldHeadingID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`ChangedByID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`DateValue` datetime NOT NULL,
`TimeStampChanged` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
KEY `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_mutiple_idx` (`ContractID`, `FieldHeadingID`, `ContractDateCurrentID`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_multiple` FOREIGN KEY (`ContractID`, `FieldHeadingID`, `ContractDateCurrentID`) REFERENCES `contractdates` (`contractid`, `fieldheadingid`, `id`)
) COMMENT='Audit trail of the dates';
Since you are using Composite FK in the table contractdates try adding composite index as well
KEY `fk_contractdates_mutiple_idx` (`ContractID`,`FieldHeadingID`,`ID`)
Whole create statement
CREATE TABLE `contractdates` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`DateValue` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
`ContractID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`FieldHeadingID` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
KEY `fk_contractdates_contracts_id_idx` (`ContractID`),
KEY `fk_contractdates_fieldheading_id_idx` (`FieldHeadingID`),
KEY `fk_contractdates_mutiple_idx` (`ContractID`,`FieldHeadingID`,`ID`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdates_fieldheading_id` FOREIGN KEY (`FieldHeadingID`) REFERENCES `fieldheading` (`id`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdates_contracts_id` FOREIGN KEY (`ContractID`) REFERENCES `contracts` (`id`)
) COMMENT='Table to hold the dates for a contract, one row is one date for a specific contract';
It's trying to tell you "you haven't created a necessary unique index on contractdates, that covers the columns (contractid, fieldheadingid, id) so I cannot create a foreign key on contractdateshistoric that refers to this set of columns when determining the single parent row"
I'm not sure why you're creating an fk that references 3 columns when contractdates has a pk that is just the ID column.
If a contractdateshistoric records refers to a single contractdates record as its parent, the historic record should have a contractdateid column that refers to contractdates.id - no need for multiple columns. Copy the pattern you used to relate a contractdates to its parent contract, and you'll be fine
I have tried by creating the keys individually for the columns, Please find the updated query:
CREATE TABLE `contractdateshistoric` (
`ID` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`ContractID` INT(11) NOT NULL,
`ContractDateCurrentID` INT(11) NOT NULL,
`FieldHeadingID` INT(11) NOT NULL,
`ChangedByID` INT(11) NOT NULL,
`DateValue` DATETIME NOT NULL,
`TimeStampChanged` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
KEY `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_mutiple_idx` (`ContractID`),
KEY `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_mutiple_idx1` (`FieldHeadingID`),
KEY `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_mutiple_idx2` (`ContractDateCurrentID`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_multiple` FOREIGN KEY (`ContractID`)
REFERENCES `contractdates` (`contractid`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_multiple1` FOREIGN KEY (`FieldHeadingID`)
REFERENCES `contractdates` (`fieldheadingid`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_contractdateshistoric_contractdates_multiple2` FOREIGN KEY (`ContractDateCurrentID`)
REFERENCES `contractdates` (`id`)
);
It works fine.

Mysql Foreign Key constraint fails to create with unexisting constraint

So I have two tables, customers and appointments.
Im trying to create a very simple FK relation between appointments.customer_id and customers.id, however when I do my ALTER TABLE trying to add the FK im getting this error:
MySQL said: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (wax.#sql-2c5_100, CONSTRAINT customer_fk FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES customers (id) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE)
This constraint "#sql-2c5_100" seems to be some randomly generated constraint, that I can not find ANYWHERE. I've looked on every table on the database, ive looked on all the tables on the information schema and it simply does not exist.
Thanks!
Edit:
Here's the create table outputs
CREATE TABLE `appointments` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`customer_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `customer_id` (`customer_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=290958 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE `customers` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`first_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`last_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`phone` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `sf_id` (`sf_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

simple tables -ERROR 1215: Cannot add foreign key constraint,

I have these two simple table
CREATE TABLE `location_main_master` (
`location_main_master_id` bigint(16) unsigned NOT NULL,
`city_id_test` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`location_main_master_id`,`city_id_test`),
UNIQUE KEY `location_main_master_id_UNIQUE` (`location_main_master_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE `location_sub_master` (

`city_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`location_sub_master_id`,`city_id`),
UNIQUE KEY `location_sub_master_id_UNIQUE` (`location_sub_master_id`),
KEY `fk_location_sub_master_city_id_idx` (`city_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
I'm trying to add a foreign key
ALTER TABLE `location_sub_master`
ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_location_sub_city_id`
FOREIGN KEY (`city_id`)
REFERENCES `location_main_master` (`city_id_test`)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE NO ACTION;
It give me this ERROR :
ERROR 1215: Cannot add foreign key constraint
You have to change the order of your primary key in master table.
PRIMARY KEY (city_id_test,location_main_master_id)
So your master table should look like
CREATE TABLE location_main_master (
location_main_master_id BIGINT(16) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
city_id_test INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (city_id_test,location_main_master_id),
UNIQUE KEY location_main_master_id_UNIQUE (location_main_master_id)
) ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Why can't I add a foreign key constraint this way?

Tables:
CREATE TABLE `relation` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
`gender` tinyint(1) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `unique_relation` (`name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
CREATE TABLE `invite` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`date_sent` date NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`relation_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`code` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `fk_user` (`user_id`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_user` FOREIGN KEY (`user_id`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
The SQL statement executed was:
ALTER TABLE `invite`
ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_relation`
FOREIGN KEY (`relation_id`)
REFERENCES `relation` (`id`)
ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE RESTRICT
Mysql Error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1005 Can't create table 'dbtest.#sql-d00_39' (errno: 121).
The relation.id and invite.relation_id columns are of the same type int(10) unsigned
UPDATE
The table invite is empty while adding this key.
The table relation has 3 rows.
try this :
ALTER TABLE invite
ADD CONSTRAINT fk_relation
FOREIGN KEY (relation_id)
REFERENCES relation(id)
According to the doc syntax is correct SQL FOREIGN KEY Constraint
The DDL for Foreign Key creation now automatically includes statements to specify actions on "Delete" and "Update". However, for "Delete", it includes the statement "ON DELETE RESTRICT", which does not appear to be a valid T-SQL statement.
TRY THIS :
ALTER TABLE invite WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT fk_relation
FOREIGN KEY (relation_id) REFERENCES relation (id)

I want to create new table with two FOREIGN KEY like this:
CREATE TABLE `alart_question_mapping` (

`alart_id` BIGINT(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`alart_question_mapping_id`),
FOREIGN KEY (`question_id`) REFERENCES questions(`question_id`),
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=20 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
but I am getting error:
Error Code: 1005. Can't create table 'alart_question_mapping' (errno: 150)
How can I create this table ?
Thank's.
Chane the statement:
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_id`)
to
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alarts(`alart_id`)
The only thing I can see is you are referencing a table in your CREATE TABLE statement that is not present in what you provided:
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_id`)
If you remove this reference the table will create. See SQL Fiddle with Demo
Edit #1, based on your update the problem is you are referencing the wrong field in your last table:
Change this:
CREATE TABLE `alart_question_mapping` (
`alart_question_mapping_id` BIGINT(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`question_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`alart_id` BIGINT(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`alart_question_mapping_id`),
FOREIGN KEY (`question_id`) REFERENCES questions(`question_id`),
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_id`)
)
To this:
CREATE TABLE `alart_question_mapping` (
`alart_question_mapping_id` BIGINT(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`question_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`alart_id` BIGINT(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`alart_question_mapping_id`),
FOREIGN KEY (`question_id`) REFERENCES questions(`question_id`),
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_types_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=20 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
So you are changing this line:
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_id`)
to this:
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_types_id`)
If you are referencing the alart_types table then you will want to reference the alart_types_id not the alart_id
see SQL Fiddle with Demo
It can't find table alart_types.
From MySQL 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.
I think you mean
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart(`alart_id`)
instead of
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_id`)
Hope this makes sense.
In this table
CREATE TABLE alart_types (
alart_types_id BIGINT(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
alarts_types_name varchar(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (alart_types_id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=20 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
it doesn't really make sense to have an autoincrement id number without also having a unique constraint on alarts_types_name. Without that unique constraint, you're almost certain to end up with a table whose data looks like this.
1 Warning
2 Critical
3 Warning
4 Warning
This constraint references a column that doesn't exist.
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_id`)
It should be
FOREIGN KEY (`alart_id`) REFERENCES alart_types(`alart_types_id`)
