I am getting this error: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (..MY DB USER..
.users
, CONSTRAINT users_ibfk_1
FOREIGN KEY (security_level
) REFERENCES security
(security_id
) ON DELETE CASCADE)
how do I fix this?
Response from A.I:
The error message indicates a foreign key constraint violation when trying to add or update a row in the users
table. Specifically, the security_level
column in the users
table is referencing a security_id
in the security
table, but the referenced security_id
does not exist.
To fix this issue, I need to:
- Verify the existing
security_id
values in thesecurity
table. - Ensure that the
security_level
values in theusers
table match one of thesecurity_id
values in thesecurity
table. - If there are mismatched values, either update the
security_level
values in theusers
table to match existingsecurity_id
values or add the missingsecurity_id
values to thesecurity
table.
