#1059 - Identifier name (name etc etc etc) is too long I've punched 3 tables, 5 walls, 1 tree and eaten a bucket of raw toast. I cannot figure out how to fix this error. I'm livid.
Since you don't give us more to go on it's hard to know exectly what the error is but it seems that you have either a field name is too long or that an index name is too long.
Show us the complete error message. Tell us when you encounter it, (migration, seed etc..)
Show us the code that you think causes it.
i dont know how to send a picture on this site. but thank you, i think ill follow your instructions
You don't need to send any pics, just copy paste the code and the error inside three back ticks (`)
Code goes here
Sounds like a large table name and a foreign key problem. If that's the case, can you shorten it some.
Thanks for helping me, problem solved it was a foreign key problem. I can pass this subject, big thanks
Glad you got it working.
