MySQL 1823

This error occurs when a foreign key constraint fails when attempting to add a row to a table. It is a MySQL 1823 error and indicates that the operation could not be completed.

How It Affects Your App

MySQL 1823 ER_FK_FAIL_ADD_SYSTEM error indicates that a foreign key constraint has failed when attempting to add a row to a table. This can have a significant impact on an application as it can prevent data from being added to the table, which can lead to data integrity issues. It can also prevent the application from functioning properly, as it may rely on the data being added to the table. In addition, it can lead to errors in other parts of the application, as the application may be expecting the data to be present.
