How It Affects Your App
The error ER_ALTER_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED_REASON_FK_CHECK indicates that the application is attempting to alter a table that has foreign key constraints. This means that the application is trying to modify the structure of the table in a way that would violate the foreign key constraints. As a result, the application will not be able to complete the operation and will need to be modified to ensure that the foreign key constraints are not violated. This could have a significant impact on the application, as it may require significant changes to the code or database structure.
