Re: Can a foreign key refer to a table in another DB?

Thanks, Peter,

Yes I did, but from MySQL Workbench. I created a table in a new DB with such a constraint, which resulted in rather lame error message: "Error Code: 1215. Cannot add foreign key constraint".

Only when I commented out the clause the action succeeded. So it must be another problem.

Regards,
Meir
