table #1:

Field	Type	Null	Key	Default	Extra
UserID	int(11)	NO	PRI	NULL	auto_increment
Password	varchar(20)	NO
Username	varchar(25)	NO
Email	varchar(60)	NO

table #2:

UserID	int(11)	NO	MUL
PostID	int(11)	NO	PRI	NULL	auto_increment
Title	varchar(50)	NO

Error:

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (myapp/table2, CONSTRAINT table2_ibfk_1 FOREIGN KEY (UserID) REFERENCES table1 (UserID))

What have I done wrong? I read http://www.w3schools.com/Sql/sql_foreignkey.asp and I don’t see what’s wrong.
