如何使 table 独一无二，'there is no unique constraint matching the referenced table'？

How can I make table unique, 'there is no unique constraint matching the referenced table'?

我正在尝试为注册系统创建一个数据库。但是，我运行遇到的问题是我没有某些 table 的唯一密钥。我不能制作人工密钥，因为那样会破坏数据库的完整性（在弱实体中使用人工密钥不是最佳做法）。如何修复 "Sections" table 中的此错误以使 "ClassEvents" 中的行唯一？

ERROR: there is no unique constraint matching given keys for referenced table "sections"
SQL state: 42830

您在 Sections table 中将 (department, courseID, sectionNumber, year, term) 定义为主键，而在 table ClassEvents 中您引用了集合 (courseID, sectionNumber, year, term) 而没有字段 department。您必须引用整个密钥而不是其中的一部分。所以加这个字段解决问题
