Create table failed in MySQL

Question

I have designed the schema and generated the create SQL below using the MySQLWorkbench.

This query through this error: Can't create table 'museum.statue_details'. Could someone please tell me what seems to be the problem and how to solve it? Thanks.

    SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;

You have many constraints with the same name,change them or let mysql name them.

CONSTRAINT `artefact_id`

this repeats everywhere.There are others. Also in museum.creator you have missing columns:

 CONSTRAINT `epoch_id`
    FOREIGN KEY ()
    REFERENCES `museum`.`epoch` ()

You probably want epoch_id in between.All those fixed, it runs on my machine.

you should give other name of your foreign keys like that:

insetead of

CONSTRAINT `artefact_id`
FOREIGN KEY (`artefact_id`)
REFERENCES `museum`.`artefact` (`artefact_id`)

do:

CONSTRAINT FK_mykey  --> give name as you like here to distinguich between others
FOREIGN KEY (`artefact_id`) 
REFERENCES `artefact` (`artefact_id`)

create table syntax:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-table.html

I believe the issue lies with you declaring the table name with {name1}.{name2}.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `collection` (
  `collection_id` INT NOT NULL,
  `name` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  `type` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  `description` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  `address` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  `phone` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  `current_contact_person` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`collection_id`),
  UNIQUE INDEX `name_UNIQUE` (`name` ASC))
ENGINE = InnoDB;

`

worked for me
