MySQL: Can't create table (errno: 150)

Question

I am trying to import a .sql file and its failing on creating tables.

Here\'s the query that fails:

CREATE TABLE `data` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NUL         


        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem when dumping a Django mysql database with a single table. I was able to fix the problem by dumping the database to a text file, moving the table in question to the end of the file using emacs and importing the modified sql dump file into the new instance.
