Question

I am trying to get specific data from the database by using column SongID when a user clicks a link but I am getting this error:

SQLSTATE[42

Answer 1

I am running laravel 5.8 and i experienced the same problem. The solution that worked for me is as follows :

1. I used bigIncrements('id') to define my primary key.

2. I used unsignedBigInteger('user_id') to define the foreign referenced key.

       Schema::create('generals', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->bigIncrements('id');
           $table->string('general_name');
           $table->string('status');
           $table->timestamps();
       });
   
   
       Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->bigIncrements('id');
           $table->unsignedBigInteger('general_id');
           $table->foreign('general_id')->references('id')->on('generals');
           $table->string('category_name');
           $table->string('status');
           $table->timestamps();
       });
   

I hope this helps out.
