How It Affects Your App
MySQL 1215 ER_CANNOT_ADD_FOREIGN has a significant impact on an application. It prevents the application from creating a foreign key constraint, which is necessary for maintaining data integrity. Without this constraint, the application may be vulnerable to data corruption and inconsistency. Furthermore, the application may not be able to enforce certain business rules, which could lead to incorrect results. This error can have a major impact on the application's performance and reliability.
How To Fix

3. Check the data type of the column:SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name = CAST(value AS data_type);
4. Check the foreign key constraints:SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name = value AND foreign_key_column = foreign_key_value;
5. Check the privileges of the user:GRANT SELECT ON table_name TO user_name;
