外键存在时为什么'外键约束失败'?

我有一个简单的查询

UPDATE `t_timecard_detail` SET  `timeoff_request_id` = 'adad8e0d-c22b-41c3-a460-6cf982729299' WHERE `id` = 'cfc7a0a1-4e03-46a4-af89-069a0661cf55'; 

给出了这个错误

ERROR 1452 (23000): Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`demo1_timeapp`.`t_timecard_detail`, CONSTRAINT `timeoff_request_id_refs_id_48fe5c4` FOREIGN KEY (`timeoff_request_id`) REFERENCES `t_timeoff_request` (`id`))

约束是

CONSTRAINT `timeoff_request_id_refs_id_48fe5c4` FOREIGN KEY (`timeoff_request_id`) REFERENCES `t_timeoff_request` (`id`)

虽然ID“adad8e0d-c22b-41c3-a460-6cf982729299”存在于t_timeoff_request表中

mysql> select `id`  from t_timeoff_request where `id`='adad8e0d-c22b-41c3-a460-6cf982729299';
+--------------------------------------+
| id                                   |
+--------------------------------------+
| adad8e0d-c22b-41c3-a460-6cf982729299 |
+--------------------------------------+

所以我不确定为什么mysql在外键存在时说“外键约束失败”?

mysql版本:

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.41, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 6.1

编辑:看起来一个表有ENGINE = MyISAM和其他innodb

show create table t_timecard_detail;

我认为这是一个错误。 MySQL不应该允许你从InnoDB添加FOREIGN KEY引用到MyISAM表,因为MyISAM引擎不是事务性的,InnoDb是。

Try:
ALTER TABLE t_timeoff_request ENGINE=InnoDB;

外键约束不能应用于MyISAM引擎。两个表应该使用innodb引擎来支持外键约束。

答案 2 :(得分:0)

如果您在FK上设置约束,可能问题出在另一个表中。 您是否设置了FK选项,例如ON UPDATE CASCADE?
