loading an sql file into mysql, often fails when loading the 'letter' table

i have no idea why. the quick-fix is to drop - then create the database

$ mysql koha_test < koha.sql ERROR 1005 (HY000) at line 3237: Can't create table 'koha_test.letter' (errno: 150)

hmmm, i bumped into this problem again... 'show engine innodb status' hints that its a foreign-key problem? ------------------------ LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR ------------------------ 121212 4:06:49 Error in foreign key constraint of table head/message_transports : there is no index in referenced table which would contain the columns as the first columns, or the data types in the referenced table do not match the ones in table. Constraint: , CONSTRAINT "message_transports_ibfk_3" FOREIGN KEY ("letter_module", "letter_c ode", "branchcode") REFERENCES "letter" ("module", "code", "branchcode") ON DELE TE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE The index in the foreign key in table is "message_transports_ibfk_3" See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/innodb-foreign-key-constraints.html for correct foreign key definition. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

just a little update...

it seems this error is triggered when a koha-3.6 .sql file is loaded into an existing koha-3.8 database

ahh, thats probably a koha 3.6 .sql file, or *earlier* -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
