I\'m trying to create a foreign key on two columns of a table to point to the same column of another table, but I seem to get an error...
Here\'s what I do:
The problem would appear to be that you are specifying the same parent column twice in the same foreign key (i.e, (ID, ID)). The following should work:
Create Table Test1
(
PK1 int not null
, PK2 int not null
, Primary Key ( PK1, PK2 )
)
Create Table Test2
(
Id int not null Auto_Increment
, PK1 int not null
, PK2 int not null
, Primary Key ( ID )
, Constraint FK_Test2
Foreign Key ( PK1, PK2 )
References Test1( PK1, PK2 )
)
If it is the case, that you want two columns in a child table referencing the same parent table column, then you must add two foreign key references as shown by rsenna as those represent two independent relations.
