"Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed" 尽管数据类型相同

Question

我想添加一个引用 Member.id 的外键 Enrols.mid，但经过几次尝试（添加索引、创建键、谷歌搜索）后它仍然无法正常工作。两列具有完全相同的数据类型，为什么添加外键不起作用？

MariaDB [alumni]> alter table Enrols add foreign key (`mid`) references Member.id;
ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table `alumni`.`#sql-31e_21d` (errno: 150 "Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed")
MariaDB [alumni]> desc Member;

Answer 1

如@Damien_The_Unbeliever 在他们的评论中所说，应该是 references Member(id) 。

你的 . 语法意味着： reference table id in Schema Member （但是你想引用列 id 在table Member.
