1) I'm not sure what you are intending with "(`(not null)`)" in the
middle of your foreign key definition, but that isn't valid mysql
syntax. See the manual for the correct syntax
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-foreign-key-constraints.html>.
This is from the script that was generated using Mysql Workbench,
1.0.3-alpha. I tried it with (null) and (not null); neither worked.
2) In FilmsRatings, RatingID is defined as INT UNSIGNED, but in Films it
is an INT. The manual says
I then modified the query as such:
CREATE TABLE `ows`.`Films` (
`FilmID` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`MovieTitle` TEXT NULL,
`PitchText` TEXT NULL,
`AmountBudgeted` DECIMAL(11, 0) NULL,
`RatingID` INT(11) UNSIGNED NULL,
`Summary` LONGTEXT NULL,
`ImageName` VARCHAR(50) NULL,
`DateInTheaters` DATETIME NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`FilmID`),
CONSTRAINT `FK_RatingID` FOREIGN KEY `RatingID` (`(not null)`)
REFERENCES `ows`.`FilmsRatings` (`RatingID`)
ON DELETE CASCADE
ON UPDATE CASCADE
)
ENGINE = InnoDB
CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
No dice.
3) Again quoting the manual, "You can use SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS to
display a detailed explanation of the most recent InnoDB foreign key
error in the server."
Which gives me:
LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR
------------------------
060207 8:33:49 Error in foreign key constraint of table ows/#sql-a8_11:
foreign key (RatingID) references FilmsRatings (RatingID):
Cannot find an index in the referenced table where the
referenced columns appear as the first columns, or column types
in the table and the referenced table do not match for constraint.
Note that the internal storage type of ENUM and SET changed in
tables created with >= InnoDB-4.1.12, and such columns in old tables
cannot be referenced by such columns in new tables.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/InnoDB_foreign_key_constraints.html
for correct foreign key definition.
Which leads me back to the same URL that you gave me. so, it looks like
I should create an index for FilmsRatings first, and then create the
table Films - is that correct?
