Question

I am having troubles generating a simple database form model. I am using:

• Doctrine on Symfony 1.4.4
• MySQL Workbench 5.2.16 with Doctrine Export 0.4.2dev

So my ERL Model is:

Genereted YAML file:

---
detect_relations: true

      primary: true
      notnull: true
    course_id:

      notnull: true
  relations:

      local: course_id
      foreign: id
      foreignAlias: UserCourses

And no matter what I try this error occurs after:

symfony doctrine:build --all --no-confirmation

SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1072 Key column 'user_userid' doesn't exist in table. Failing Query: "ALTER TABLE user_has_course ADD CONSTRAINT user_has_course_user_userid_user_id FOREIGN KEY (user_userid) REFERENCES user(id)".

rse_user_userid_user_id FOREIGN KEY (user_userid) REFERENCES user(id)

Currently I am studying Symfony, and stuck with this error. Please help.

Answer 1

It’s as it says in the error: the column “user.user_id” doesn’t exist. In your relations, you’re referring to a column called “user_id” that should be in the “user” table, but instead, your user table has the column “id”.
