I am running a server through Apache using Python 3.4 as a cgi and a MySQL database server on Windows 10. When I try to run my function for creating the database I get the error:
DatabaseError: 1005 (HY000): Can't create table `testdb`.`studentexam` (errno: 150
"Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed")
The function for creating the database
import mysql.connector as conn
#connect to server
db=conn.connect(host="localhost",user="root",password="")
cursor=db.cursor()
#create database
cursor.execute("""CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS Testdb""")
db.commit()
#use database
cursor.execute("""USE Testdb""")
db.commit()
#create Teacher table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Teacher(
TeacherUsername VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY,
TeacherPassword TEXT)""")
db.commit()
#create student table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Student(
StudentNo INT PRIMARY KEY,

db.commit()
#create exam table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Exam(

db.commit()
#create StudentExam table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS StudentExam(
TestName VARCHAR(255),
StudentID INT,

db.commit()
#create ExamSection table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ExamSection(
TestName VARCHAR(255),
SectionID INT,
PRIMARY KEY(TestName,SectionID),
FOREIGN KEY(TestName) REFERENCES Exam(TestName),
FOREIGN KEY(SectionID) REFERENCES Section(SectionID))""")
db.commit()
#create Section table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Section(

db.commit()
#create Question table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Question(

db.commit()
#create QuestionResults Table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS QuestionResults(

db.commit()
#create StudentRevition table

db.commit()
#create StudentResults table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS StudentResults(

db.commit()
cursor.close()
EDIT: I Changed StudentNo to StudentID and now get the error:
DatabaseError: 1005 (HY000): Can't create table `testdb`.`examsection` (errno: 150
"Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed")
Change this:
#create student table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Student(
StudentNo INT PRIMARY KEY,
StudentSurname TEXT,
StudentForename TEXT,
StudentTeacher VARCHAR(255),
StudentPassword TEXT,
FOREIGN KEY(StudentTeacher) REFERENCES Teacher(TeacherUsername))""")
db.commit()
to this:
#create student table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Student(
StudentID INT PRIMARY KEY,
StudentSurname TEXT,
StudentForename TEXT,
StudentTeacher VARCHAR(255),
StudentPassword TEXT,
FOREIGN KEY(StudentTeacher) REFERENCES Teacher(TeacherUsername))""")
db.commit()
