mysql - Error 1022 - Can't write; duplicate key in table

Question

I'm getting a 1022 error regarding duplicate keys on create table command. Having looked at the query, I can't understand where the duplication is taking place. Can anyone else see it?

SQL query:

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `apptwo`.`usercircle`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS  `apptwo`.`usercircle` (

 `idUserCircle` MEDIUMINT NOT NULL ,
 `userId` MEDIUMINT NULL ,
 `circleId` MEDIUMINT NULL ,
 `authUser` BINARY NULL ,
 `authOwner` BINARY NULL ,
 `startDate` DATETIME NULL ,
 `endDate` DATETIME NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (  `idUserCircle` ) ,
INDEX  `iduser_idx` (  `userId` ASC ) ,
INDEX  `idcategory_idx` (  `circleId` ASC ) ,
CONSTRAINT  `iduser` FOREIGN KEY (  `userId` ) REFERENCES  `apptwo`.`user` (
`idUser`
) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION ,
CONSTRAINT  `idcategory` FOREIGN KEY (  `circleId` ) REFERENCES  `apptwo`.`circle` (
`idCircle`
) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
) ENGINE = INNODB;

Answer 1

The most likely you already have a constraint with the name iduser or idcategory in your database. Just rename the constraints if so.

Constraints must be unique for the entire database, not just for the specific table you are creating/altering.

To find out where the constraints are currently in use you can use the following query:

SELECT `TABLE_SCHEMA`, `TABLE_NAME`
FROM `information_schema`.`KEY_COLUMN_USAGE`
WHERE `CONSTRAINT_NAME` IN ('iduser', 'idcategory');
