Question

I’m trying to debug a problem with a create statement I have however the error message doesn’t really make any sense.

The script is:

CREATE TABLE    marlin.SupportLog
(
    IssueID             INTEGER         UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    TypeID              INTEGER         NOT NULL ,
    IssueDescription    VARCHAR(5000)   NOT NULL ,
    MinutesSpent        INTEGER         NOT NULL ,
    PriorityID          INTEGER         NOT NULL ,
    UserID              INTEGER         NOT NULL ,
    SubmittedDate       DATETIME        NOT NULL    DEFAULT SYSDATETIME() ,
    LastModifiedDate    DATETIME        NULL        DEFAULT SYSDATETIME() ,
    LastModifiedUserID  INTEGER         NULL

    CONSTRAINT  SupportLog_pk
        PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED (IssueID)

    CONSTRAINT  TypeID_fk
        FOREIGN KEY (TypeID)
            REFERENCES  marlin.SupportIssueType(TypeID)

    CONSTRAINT  SLPriorityID_fk
        FOREIGN KEY (PriorityID)
            REFERENCES  marlin.SupportPriority(PriorityID)

    CONSTRAINT  UserID_fk
        FOREIGN KEY (UserID)
            REFERENCES marlin.SupportUsers(UserID)
);

If I comment out the last two constraints the table works fine however if I run it as above I receive:

Msg 8148, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
More than one column FOREIGN KEY constraint specified for column 'LastModifiedUserID', table 'marlin.SupportLog'.
Msg 8148, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
More than one column FOREIGN KEY constraint specified for column 'LastModifiedUserID', table 'marlin.SupportLog'.

The error doesn’t appear to help – what am I not understanding / what have I done wrong?

Answer 1

The CREATE TABLE statement is missing a comma before each CONSTRAINT.
