MySQL“错误1005HY000：无法创建表'foo＃sql-12c_4'errno：150”

问题描述

您应该将car_id设置为汽车的主键。

解决方法

我当时正在数据库中创建一些表foo，但是每次我以errno 150结束有关外键的工作时。首先，这是我创建表的代码：

CREATE TABLE Clients
(
client_id                CHAR(10)  NOT NULL,client_name              CHAR(50)  NOT NULL,provisional_license_num  CHAR(50)  NOT NULL,client_address           CHAR(50)  NULL,client_city              CHAR(50)  NULL,client_county            CHAR(50)  NULL,client_zip               CHAR(10)  NULL,client_phone             INT       NULL,client_email             CHAR(255) NULL,client_dob               DATETIME  NULL,test_attempts            INT       NULL
);
CREATE TABLE Applications
(
application_id   CHAR(10) NOT NULL,office_id        INT      NOT NULL,client_id        CHAR(10) NOT NULL,instructor_id    CHAR(10) NOT NULL,car_id           CHAR(10) NOT NULL,application_date DATETIME NULL 
);
CREATE TABLE Instructors
(
instructor_id      CHAR(10)  NOT NULL,office_id          INT       NOT NULL,instructor_name    CHAR(50)  NOT NULL,instructor_address CHAR(50)  NULL,instructor_city    CHAR(50)  NULL,instructor_county  CHAR(50)  NULL,instructor_zip     CHAR(10)  NULL,instructor_phone   INT       NULL,instructor_email   CHAR(255) NULL,instructor_dob     DATETIME  NULL,lessons_given      INT       NULL 
);
CREATE TABLE Cars
(
car_id             CHAR(10) NOT NULL,office_id          INT      NOT NULL,engine_serial_num  CHAR(10) NULL,registration_num   CHAR(10) NULL,car_make           CHAR(50) NULL,car_model          CHAR(50) NULL 
);
CREATE TABLE Offices
(
office_id       INT       NOT NULL,office_address  CHAR(50)  NULL,office_city     CHAR(50)  NULL,office_County   CHAR(50)  NULL,office_zip      CHAR(10)  NULL,office_phone    INT       NULL,office_email    CHAR(255) NULL 
);
CREATE TABLE Lessons
(
lesson_num     INT            NOT NULL,client_id      CHAR(10)       NOT NULL,date           DATETIME       NOT NULL,time           DATETIME       NOT NULL,milegage_used  DECIMAL(5,2)  NULL,progress       CHAR(50)       NULL 
);
CREATE TABLE DrivingTests
(
test_num     INT       NOT NULL,client_id    CHAR(10)  NOT NULL,test_date    DATETIME  NOT NULL,seat_num     INT       NOT NULL,score        INT       NULL,test_notes   CHAR(255) NULL 
);

ALTER TABLE Clients ADD PRIMARY KEY (client_id);
ALTER TABLE Applications ADD PRIMARY KEY (application_id);
ALTER TABLE Instructors ADD PRIMARY KEY (instructor_id);
ALTER TABLE Offices ADD PRIMARY KEY (office_id);
ALTER TABLE Lessons ADD PRIMARY KEY (lesson_num);
ALTER TABLE DrivingTests ADD PRIMARY KEY (test_num);
ALTER TABLE Applications ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Applications_Offices FOREIGN KEY (office_id) REFERENCES Offices (office_id);
ALTER TABLE Applications ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Applications_Clients FOREIGN KEY (client_id) REFERENCES Clients (client_id);
ALTER TABLE Applications ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Applications_Instructors FOREIGN KEY (instructor_id) REFERENCES Instructors (instructor_id);
ALTER TABLE Applications ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Applications_Cars FOREIGN KEY (car_id) REFERENCES Cars (car_id);
ALTER TABLE Lessons ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Lessons_Clients FOREIGN KEY (client_id) REFERENCES Clients (client_id);
ALTER TABLE Cars ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Cars_Offices FOREIGN KEY (office_id) REFERENCES Offices (office_id);
ALTER TABLE Clients ADD CONSTRAINT FK_DrivingTests_Clients FOREIGN KEY (client_id) REFERENCES Clients (client_id);

这些是我得到的错误：

mysql> ALTER TABLE Applications ADD CONSTRAINT FK_Applications_Cars FOREIGN KEY
(car_id) REFERENCES Cars (car_id);
ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table 'foo.#sql-12c_4' (errno: 150)

我跑了SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS，给出了更详细的错误描述：

------------------------
LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR
------------------------
