Hi Rufat and Abdul!
Thanks for reaching out.


@: Abdul
Thanks for sharing this — it’s always helpful to hear different perspectives!

@: Rufat
Adding a name to the foreign key, as Abdul mentioned, is perfectly okay. The referenced column still needs to be a PRIMARY  or UNIQUE  key with the same data type for the foreign key to work correctly.

Hope this helps.
Best,
Tsvetelin

Hi Rufat !
Thanks for reaching out.

This is a well-known issue in MySQL Workbench where foreign keys might not appear in the list. You can safely proceed with the next lectures — your setup is fine.


Hope this helps.
Best,
Tsvetelin
