错误编号:3780；符号:ER_FK_INCOMPATIBLE_COLUMNS； SQLSTATE: HY000

消息:错误代码:3780。在外键约束“eval_fact_table_ibfk_3”中引用列“Geography_ID”和引用列“Geography_ID”不兼容。

Answer 1

错误 Referencing column 'Geography_ID' and referenced column 'Geography_ID' in foreign key constraint 'eval_fact_table_ibfk_3' are incompatible.
很清楚，列不兼容:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Geography_Dim (
    Geography_ID varchar(25) not null,

CREATE TABLE Eval_Fact_Table(
... truncated
    Geography_ID int(11) not null,

使它们具有相同的类型或删除外键约束。

您可以阅读有关外键约束的更多信息 in documentation ，最有趣的部分是

Corresponding columns in the foreign key and the referenced key must have similar data types.

您的情况并非如此: varchar(25)对比 int(11)
