James, you may have a typo in your SQL, actually in the the frst two ALTER TABLE statements. You posted: ALTER TABLE `cardfaces` ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_card_deck` FOREIGN KEY (`card_id`) references card(`id`); ALTER TABLE `cards` ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_card_deck` FOREIGN KEY (`deck_id`) referencesdeck(`id`);
first one should end with "references cards(`id`);" (note plural name of table) second one should end with "references deck(`id`);" (note space before deck) HTH, Dan On 10/5/06, James Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
