How It Affects Your App
This error indicates that a foreign key column in a child table cannot be changed. This can have a significant impact on an application as it prevents the application from making changes to the child table that would affect the relationship between the parent and child tables. This can lead to data integrity issues and can prevent the application from functioning as expected. It is important to ensure that foreign key columns are not changed in order to maintain the integrity of the data.
How To Fix
1. Check the error log for the MySQL 1833 error:
$ tail -f /var/log/mysql/error.log
2. Check the MySQL configuration file for any misconfigurations:
$ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf
3. Check the MySQL process list to see if any processes are running that could be causing the error:
$ mysqladmin -u root -p processlist
4. Check the MySQL user privileges to see if any users have been granted too many privileges:
$ mysql -u root -p -e "SELECT User, Host, Password FROM mysql.user;"
5. Check the MySQL database tables for any corruptions:
$ mysqlcheck -u root -p --all-databases
6. Restart the MySQL service to apply any changes made:
$ service mysql restart
