Question

Have someone idea, why this SQL return error on create table accounts?

1005 – Can’t create table ‘mobilewaiter.accounts’ (errno: 150)

I saw, that problem can be with index on keys, but everything refer on primary key.
Help me, thanks.

table_id is varchar(10) but you want it to reference tables._id which is int. In order to use foreign keys the data types of the columns should be the same
