Mungbeans,
I do not understand how you get error 152 from the ALTER.
./include/my_base.h:355:#define HA_ERR_ROW_IS_REFERENCED 152
Please print SHOW INNODB STATUS\G after you get that error.
Best regards,

Subject: Deleting Foreign Key
Get Plain Text
I have a foreign key in a table which I need to drop. I have successfully
dropped other foreign keys from this table using phpMyAdmin. However when I
use these commands I get similar error messages:
ALTER TABLE `mytable` DROP FOREIGN KEY `keyname`
#1025 - Error on rename of '.\database\mytable' to '.\database\#sql2-6ec-11'
(errno: 152)
ALTER TABLE `mytable` DROP INDEX `keyname`
#1025 - Error on rename of '.\database\#sql-6ec_13' to '.\database\mytable'
(errno: 150)
Any clues as to what I need to do to get rid of this constraint? I want to
delete the entire table structure and replace it with a different one and
this is the only thing stopping me.
