MySQL error cannot add foreign key constraint

Question

what is wrong?

mysql> create table price(
    -> p_code char(1) not null,
    -> p_description varchar(20),
    -> p_rentfee decimal(2,2) not nul         


        

Answer 1

p_code should be a primary key in your price table:

create table price(
-> p_code char(1) not null,
-> p_description varchar(20),
-> p_rentfee decimal(2,2) not null,
-> p_dylatefee decimal(2,2),
-> PRIMARY KEY ( p_code ));
