经过测试,问题出在constraint 'fk_city_country' ,这貌似是oracle的写法,MySQL中不需要这个.

看去掉之后,执行成功.

 看到这里,发现create table 语句中可以定义CONSTRAINT `city_ibfk_1`啊,仔细想想错误的create 语句与执行成功之后的show create语句之间的差别不就是

CONSTRAINT `city_ibfk_1` 和 CONSTRAINT 'city_ibfk_1'  一个'一个`,看到这里恍然大悟,`是分隔符加在外键名称上是可以的,而且定义外键名字不需要加单引号和双引号,直接命名即可,所以加了'的会报错!

不信再试试看,不加`也不加'试试看效果:

 

mysql> create table city4(
    ->      city_id smallint unsigned not null auto_increment,
    ->      city varchar(50) not null,
    ->      country_id smallint unsigned not null,

    ->      primary key(city_id),
    ->      key idx_fk_country_id4(country_id),
    ->      CONSTRAINT city1_ibfk_4 foreign key(country_id) references country(country_id) on update cascade
    -> )

看到了,搞定成功了,所以在define外键的时候,外键名称不可以添加单引号和双引号。
