Hello, I'm trying to add a table to an existing database. I'm wanting it to get one of it's fields from an already existing table. I've done this before in this database. This works: CREATE TABLE `virtual_users` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `domain_id` int(11) NOT NULL, `user` varchar(40) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(128) NOT NULL, `quota` bigint(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 256, `quota_messages` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `user` (`user`), FOREIGN KEY (domain_id) REFERENCES virtual_domains(id) ON DELETE CASCADE ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; This does not: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `lastauth` ( `user` varchar(40) NOT NULL, `remote_ip` varchar(18) NOT NULL, `timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (`user`), FOREIGN KEY (user) REFERENCES virtual_users(user) ON DELETE CASCADE ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; Can anyone spot the situation?
