| Hello,I am trying to create a table to implement the adjacency model so I can have categories and subcategories in a single table.When I try to create the table I get the following error:"Foreign key 'FK_Parent' references invalid column 'ParentID' in referencing table 'Categories'. Could not create constraint."create table dbo.Categories( CategoryID uniqueidentifier not null constraint PK_Category primary key clustered, [Name] nvarchar(200) not null, ParentiID uniqueidentifier null, constraint FK_Parent foreign key(ParentID) references dbo.Categories(CategoryID))What am I doing wrong?Thanks,Miguel |
