Jeremiah, you are inserting in the database 'tamiyausa' to the table 'product_access_level'.
> But the parent table mydb/product does not currently exist! It complains there is no table 'product' in database 'mydb'. Can you do mysql> use tamiyausa mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE product_access_level; mysql> use mydb mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE product; ? I am suspecting you printed these from wrong databases.
