Can't figure out why mySql database syntax won't compile

Question

I'm getting this syntax error for a DB I am writing for my own personal project and am unsure why this error is occuring, any help would be much appreciated! The desired result is just compilation at this point, and the error is a simple syntax error.

The problem table is the Team table.

Error Code: 1215: Cannot add foreign key contraint.

Answer 1

A column that you reference in a foreign key must be indexed. These two foreign keys in TEAM :

FOREIGN KEY(season) REFERENCES SESSION(season),
FOREIGN KEY(division) REFERENCES SESSION(division)   

refer to columns that don't have indexes of their own. They're parts of a multi-column index, but only a prefix of a multi-column index acts as an index on those specific columns.

You could add separate indexes on the season and division columns to the SESSION table. But it would probably be more appropriate to make a multi-column foreign key:

FOREIGN KEY (year, season, division) REFERENCES SESSION(year, season, division)

Answer 2

I just tried it and it executes without any errors.
