Ограничение foreign key sql ошибка

I just wanted to add this case as well for VARCHAR foreign key relation. I spent the last week trying to figure this out in MySQL Workbench 8.0 and was finally able to fix the error.

Short Answer:
The character set and collation of the schema, the table, the column, the referencing table, the referencing column and any other tables that reference to the parent table have to match.

Long Answer:
I had an ENUM datatype in my table. I changed this to VARCHAR and I can get the values from a reference table so that I don’t have to alter the parent table to add additional options. This foreign-key relationship seemed straightforward but I got 1215 error. arvind’s answer and the following link suggested the use of

SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;

On using this command I got the following verbose description for the error with no additional helpful information

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.
Please refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-foreign-key-constraints.html for correct foreign key definition.

After which I used SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0; as suggested by Arvind Bharadwaj and the link here:

This gave the following error message:

Error Code: 1822. Failed to add the foreign key constraint. Missing
index for constraint

At this point, I ‘reverse engineer’-ed the schema and I was able to make the foreign-key relationship in the EER diagram. On ‘forward engineer’-ing, I got the following error:

Error 1452: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint
fails

When I ‘forward engineer’-ed the EER diagram to a new schema, the SQL script ran without issues. On comparing the generated SQL from the attempts to forward engineer, I found that the difference was the character set and collation. The parent table, child table and the two columns had utf8mb4 character set and utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci collation, however, another column in the parent table was referenced using CHARACTER SET = utf8 , COLLATE = utf8_bin ; to a different child table.

For the entire schema, I changed the character set and collation for all the tables and all the columns to the following:

CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_general_ci;

This finally solved my problem with 1215 error.

Side Note:
The collation utf8mb4_general_ci works in MySQL Workbench 5.0 or later. Collation utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci works just for MySQL Workbench 8.0 or higher. I believe one of the reasons I had issues with character set and collation is due to MySQL Workbench upgrade to 8.0 in between. Here is a link that talks more about this collation.

Есть две таблицы /Users/egortimonin/Desktop/Снимок экрана 2020-07-19 в 15.48.25.png в tblMessage все ID уникальны, а вот EQUIPMENT_ID могут повторяться, при заполнении таблицы tblMessage SQL жалуется и пишет

Конфликт инструкции INSERT с ограничением FOREIGN KEY "FK__tblMessag__EQUIP__0559BDD1". 
Конфликт произошел в базе данных "dbo", таблица "dbo.tblEquipment", column 'ID'.

Я не понимаю почему это происходит, у меня связь один к многим, где у одной записи tblEquipment может быть много записей в таблице tblMessage. Почему возникает ошибка?

Finding out why Foreign key creation fail

When MySQL is unable to create a Foreign Key, it throws out this generic error message:

ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint

– The most useful error message ever.

Fortunately, MySQL has this useful command that can give the actual reason about why it could not create the Foreign Key.

mysql> SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;

That will print out lots of output but the part we are interested in is under the heading ‘LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR’:

referenced table do not match the ones in table. Constraint:

The index in the foreign key in table is idx_name
Please refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-foreign-key-constraints.html for correct foreign key definition.

This output could give you some clue about the actual reason why MySQL could not create your Foreign Key

Reason #1 – Missing unique index on the referenced table

This is probably the most common reason why MySQL won’t create your Foreign Key constraint. Let’s look at an example with a new database and new tables:

In the all below examples, we’ll use a simple ‘Employee to Department” relationship:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE foreign_key_1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> USE foreign_key_1;
Database changed

mysql> CREATE TABLE employees(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     department_id int
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

mysql> CREATE TABLE departments(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)

As you may have noticed, we have not created the table with PRIMARY KEY or unique indexes. Now let’s try to create Foreign Key constraint between employees.department_id column and departments.id column:

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint

Let’s look at the detailed error:

mysql> SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;
------------------------
LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR
------------------------
2020-08-31 09:25:13 0x7fddc805f700 Error in foreign key constraint of table foreign_key_1/#sql-5ed_49b:
FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id):
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.
Please refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-foreign-key-constraints.html for correct foreign key definition.

This is because we don’t have any unique index on the referenced table i.e. departments. We have two ways of fixing this:

Option 1: Primary Keys

Let’s fix this by adding a primary key departments.id

mysql> ALTER TABLE departments ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

Option 2: Unique Index

mysql> CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_department_id ON departments(id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.21 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

Reason #2 – Different data types on the columns

MySQL requires the columns involved in the foreign key to be of the same data types.

mysql> CREATE DATABASE foreign_key_1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> USE foreign_key_1;
Database changed

mysql> CREATE TABLE employees(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     department_id int,
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)

mysql> CREATE TABLE departments(
    ->     id char(20),
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)

You may have noticed that employees.department_id is int while departments.id is char(20). Let’s try to create a foreign key now:

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint

Let’s fix the type of departments.id and try to create the foreign key again:

mysql> ALTER TABLE departments MODIFY id INT;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.18 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.26 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

It works now!

Reason #3 – Different collation/charset type on the table

This is a surprising reason and hard to find out. Let’s create two tables with different collation (or also called charset):

Let’s start from scratch to explain this scenario:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE foreign_key_1;                                                                                        Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> USE foreign_key_1;                                                                                                    Database changed

mysql> CREATE TABLE employees(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     department_id int,
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> ) ENGINE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET=utf8;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)

mysql> CREATE TABLE departments(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> ) ENGINE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET=latin1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

You may notice that we are using a different character set (utf8 and latin1` for both these tables. Let’s try to create the foreign key:

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint

It failed because of different character sets. Let’s fix that.

mysql> SET foreign_key_checks = 0; ALTER TABLE departments CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; SET foreign_key_checks = 1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.18 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

If you have many tables with a different collation/character set, use this script to generate a list of commands to fix all tables at once:

mysql --database=your_database -B -N -e "SHOW TABLES" | awk '{print "SET foreign_key_checks = 0; ALTER TABLE", $1, "CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; SET foreign_key_checks = 1; "}'

Reason #4 – Different collation types on the columns

This is a rare reason, similar to reason #3 above but at a column level.

Let’s try to reproduce this from scratch:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE foreign_key_1;                                                                                        Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> USE foreign_key_1;                                                                                                    Database changed

mysql> CREATE TABLE employees(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     department_id char(26) CHARACTER SET utf8,
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)

mysql> CREATE TABLE departments(
    ->     id char(26) CHARACTER SET latin1,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

We are using a different character set for employees.department_id and departments.id (utf8 and latin1). Let’s check if the Foreign Key can be created:

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint

Nope, as expected. Let’s fix that by changing the character set of departments.id to match with employees.department_id:

mysql> ALTER TABLE departments MODIFY id CHAR(26) CHARACTER SET utf8;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

It works now!

Reason #5 -Inconsistent data

This would be the most obvious reason. A foreign key is to ensure that your data remains consistent between the parent and the child table. So when you are creating the foreign key, the existing data is expected to be already consistent.

Let’s setup some inconsistent data to reproduce this problem:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE foreign_key_1;                                                                                        Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> USE foreign_key_1;                                                                                                    Database changed

mysql> CREATE TABLE employees(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     department_id int,
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)

mysql> CREATE TABLE departments(
    ->     id int,
    ->     name varchar(20),
    ->     PRIMARY KEY (id)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

Let’s insert a department_id in employees table that will not exist in departments.id:

mysql> INSERT INTO employees VALUES (1, 'Amber', 145);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

Let’s create a foreign key now and see if it works:

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);

ERROR 1452 (23000): Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`foreign_key_1`.`#sql-5ed_49b`, CONSTRAINT `fk_department_id` FOREIGN KEY (`department_id`) REFERENCES `departments` (`id`))

This error message is atleast more useful. We can fix this in two ways. Either by adding the missing department in departments table or by deleting all the employees with the missing department. We’ll do the first option now:

mysql> INSERT INTO departments VALUES (145, 'HR');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Let’s try to create the Foreign Key again:

mysql> ALTER TABLE employees ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department_id FOREIGN KEY idx_employees_department_id (department_id) REFERENCES departments(id);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)
Records: 1  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

It worked this time.

So we have seen 5 different ways a Foreign Key creation can fail and possible solutions of how we can fix them. If you have encountered a reason not listed above, add them in the comments.

If you are using MySQL 8.x, the error message will be a little different:

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 3780 Referencing column 'column' and referenced column 'id' in foreign key constraint 'idx_column_id' are incompatible. 

Although the other answers are quite helpful, just wanted to share my experience as well.

I faced the issue when I had deleted a table whose id was already being referenced as foreign key in other tables (with data) and tried to recreate/import the table with some additional columns.

The query for recreation (generated in phpMyAdmin) looked like the following:

CREATE TABLE `the_table` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL,            /* No PRIMARY KEY index */  
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `name_fa` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `name_pa` varchar(255) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

... /* SOME DATA DUMP OPERATION */

ALTER TABLE `the_table`
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`), /* PRIMARY KEY INDEX */
  ADD UNIQUE KEY `uk_acu_donor_name` (`name`);

As you may notice, the PRIMARY KEY index was set after the creation (and insertion of data) which was causing the problem.

Solution

The solution was to add the PRIMARY KEY index on table definition query for the id which was being referenced as foreign key, while also removing it from the ALTER TABLE part where indexes were being set:

CREATE TABLE `the_table` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,            /* <<== PRIMARY KEY INDEX ON CREATION */  
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `name_fa` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `name_pa` varchar(255) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Ответы

  • Ошибка связана с тем, что у вас вводится значиние которое отсуствует в свяной таблице (на которое указывает внешний ключ). Т.е. одному из полей сушности назначается неверное значение. Вам надо или задать его правильно или снять ограничение
    внешнего ключа с таблицы.
