ERROR: Error 1005: Can't create table (errno: 121)
I have troubles with forward engineering my MySQL database into WAMP server..
I was going to post an image of the schema but as this is my first post I can't.
Below is the executed script..
use aquaticstar;
SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;

But then I get this error:
Executing SQL script in server
ERROR: Error 1005: Can't create table 'aquaticstar.link' (errno: 121)
I can't figure out why. Can anyone help me?
Answer
I searched quickly for you, and it brought me here. I quote:
You will get this message if you're trying to add a constraint with a name that's already used somewhere else
To check constraints use the following SQL query:
SELECT
constraint_name,
table_name
FROM
information_schema.table_constraints
WHERE
constraint_type = 'FOREIGN KEY'
AND table_schema = DATABASE()
ORDER BY
constraint_name;
Look for more information there, or try to see where the error occurs. Looks like a problem with a foreign key to me.
