I am creating 2 tables in my database: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `med_pharmacy`; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `med_pharmacy` ( `med_pharmacy_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `med_id` int(11) NOT NULL, `med_barcode` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, `med_received` date DEFAULT NULL, `med_expiry` date DEFAULT NULL, `med_tablet` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `med_pill` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `clinic_id` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`med_pharmacy_id`), KEY `fk_med_pharmacy_medication1_idx` (`med_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1261 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
AND: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `medication`; CREATE TABLE `medication` ( `med_id` int(11) NOT NULL, `med_name` varchar(75) NOT NULL, `med_date_added` date DEFAULT NULL, `clinic_id` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL, `med_type` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
And when I run the queries in wamp I got this error:
SQL query: ALTER TABLE `med_pharmacy` ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_med_pharmacy_medication1` FOREIGN KEY (`med_id`) REFERENCES `medication` (`med_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE MySQL said: Documentation
#1822 - Failed to add the foreign key constaint. Missing index for constraint 'fk_med_pharmacy_medication1' in the referenced table 'medication'
The tables already exists but I changed one field.
