Attached is my attempt at creating a database for the following entity relationship diagram. But I keep getting the following error:
"SQL0538N FOREIGN KEY "ADVISOR_STUDENT" does not conform to the
description of the parent key of table or nickname "KISHANPA.STUDENT".
SQLSTATE=42830"
for these 4 tables: advisor, prereq, teaches, takes. The rest of the tables seem to work fine. It would be greatly appreciated if someone can guide me int eh right direction. Thanks

Your problem is on your key for student. You must have the same column to join tabes whith FK. Modify you table student like this :
create table student (sid char(9) not null, name varchar(30) not null, tot_cred smallint, dept_name varchar(30) not null, constraint student_key primary key (sid), constraint student_dept foreign key(dept_name) references department on delete no action);
The docs say this:
A foreign key references a primary key or a unique key in the same or
another table. A foreign key assignment indicates that referential
integrity is to be maintained according to the specified referential
constraints.
Your "advisor_student" references "sid", but that is not the primary key. You would need to include the department or change the design.
Your primary keys don't match your schema diagram for several tables.
Instructor, student, and course all have dept_name in the primary key in your DDL, but according to the Schema diagram, and logically as well, this field should not be a part of the primary key for any of those tables. In addition, the primary key of section does not match the Schema diagram. It should be (course_id, sec_id, semester, year) You have a lot of extra fields in there. That will cause problems with the foreign key constraints on teaches and takes.
Finally, the time_slot file both in the schema, and in the DDL have what I would call a questionable, given no other input, primary key. Should just be time_slot_id to my mind, then you can build a foreign key from section to time_slot as well.

I keep getting a missing right or left parenthesis error when I try to create my tables with a foreign key, but when I remove the foreign key my code has no problem creating the tables. I need the code to run with the foreign keys.

The degree table is the only table where I don't get an error.
Should I use an alter table instead after I create all the tables or is there another way to solve my problem?
edit: updated code
I think your most immediate issue is with the Department table not having a comma between the two CONSTRAINT clauses. You might also run into issues with your Position table's CONSTRAINT clause referencing the Position table instead of the Employee table, although honestly I don't think you need that relationship defined at all since the Employee table already has a foreign key constraint with Position. And like what was stated earlier, your table definitions aren't in the right order so you have some tables referencing other tables before those others are created.
Give this a shot to see if the syntax works. I've added the column definition for the foreign key in Position, put parentheses around the foreign key column name in the CONSTRAINT clause, and removed the space between Department and the left paren in the CONSTRAINT clause. If this script works, make the same changes to your other table defs.
CREATE TABLE Department(
Dept_Name varchar(255) Primary Key, --primary key
Dept_Phone_Num numeric(35) not null
);
CREATE TABLE Position(
Position_Name varchar(255) not null Primary Key, --primary key
Position_Salary decimal(10, 2) not null,
Employee_num numeric(35) not null,
Dept_Name varchar(255) not null,
CONSTRAINT fk_Dept_Name FOREIGN KEY (Dept_Name) REFERENCES Department(Dept_Name) --foreign key
);
Not sure why, but referenced tabled not able to be identified. The following is the code:

Assuming this is the order you're creating your tables, this is likely your problem:
CREATE TABLE Store (
...
CONSTRAINT Manager_FK FOREIGN KEY (Manager_ID)
REFERENCES Manager (Manager_ID)
...
You're referencing a table in your table definition that doesn't exist yet.
I'm having problems with creating tables:
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
(
employee_id NUMBER(5) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
position VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR2(255) NOT NULL,
salary NUMBER(6) NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT employee_pk PRIMARY KEY (employee_id)
);
CREATE TABLE PROJECT
(
project_id NUMBER(5) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
budget NUMBER(6) NOT NULL,
consultant_leader NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
developer_leader NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
project_leader NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT project_pk PRIMARY KEY (PROJECT_ID),
CONSTRAINT fk_leader
FOREIGN KEY (consultant_leader, developer_leader, project_leader)
REFERENCES EMPLOYEE (employee_id, employee_id, employee_id)
);
In the last section, when I try to reference the employee's table employee_id, I'm getting ORA-00957. I think it's because the 3 different leader type foreign key references the same employee_id, but as far as I know, it should not be a problem. Is the syntax wrong?
Your immediate problem is that you need three foreign key relationships, not one with three columns.
But, there is no need to declare a primary key as being unique. So, I would recommend:
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (
employee_id NUMBER(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
position VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR2(255) NOT NULL,
salary NUMBER(6) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE PROJECT (
project_id NUMBER(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
budget NUMBER(6) NOT NULL,
consultant_leader NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
developer_leader NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
project_leader NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fk_leader FOREIGN KEY (consultant_leader)
REFERENCES EMPLOYEE (employee_id),
CONSTRAINT fk_leader FOREIGN KEY (developer_leader)
REFERENCES EMPLOYEE (employee_id),
CONSTRAINT fk_leader FOREIGN KEY (project_leader)
REFERENCES EMPLOYEE (employee_id)
);
You don't need to put the PRIMARY KEY constraint in-line, of course. The advantage of declaring it separately is that you can give the constraint a name to your liking.
I think you should create three distinct FK: FK_Consultant, FK_developer, FK_projleader
create table STAFF
(StaffID TINYINT IDENTITY NOT NULL,
StaffName varchar(20) NOT NULL,
Phone varchar(10) NOT NULL,
Gender char(01),
DoB date NOT NULL,
Mentor TINYINT,
Payment_ID TINYINT NOT NULL,
constraint staff_pk primary key (StaffID),
constraint staff_fk foreign key (Payment_ID) references PAYMENT(Payment_ID),
constraint mentor_fk foreign key (Mentor) references staff(StaffID)
);
when it is executed it gives the following error.
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 The INSERT statement conflicted
with the FOREIGN KEY SAME TABLE constraint "mentor_fk". The conflict
occurred in database "F_T", table "dbo.STAFF", column 'StaffID'. The
statement has been terminated.
Create the staff table first. Then add the foreign key:
create table STAFF (
StaffID TINYINT IDENTITY NOT NULL,
StaffName varchar(20) NOT NULL,
Phone varchar(10) NOT NULL,
Gender char(01),
DoB date NOT NULL,
Mentor TINYINT,
Payment_ID TINYINT NOT NULL,
constraint staff_pk primary key (StaffID),
constraint staff_fk foreign key (Payment_ID) references PAYMENT(Payment_ID)
);
alter table staff
add constraint mentor_fk foreign key (Mentor) references staff(StaffID);
these are my tables :
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE(
Emp_id number(4),
Emp_name varchar2(30),
Emp_gender varchar2(1),
Status varchar2(30),
Years_service number(4),
Primary Key (emp_id)
);
CREATE TABLE ACTIVITY(
Act_id number(4),
Description varchar2(30),
Category_code varchar2(1),
Primary Key(Act_id)
);
CREATE TABLE ALLOCATION(
Emp_id number(4) NOT NULL,
Act_id number(4) NOT NULL,
Hourly_rate number(5,2) NOT NULL,
Primary Key (Act_id, Emp_id),
Foreign Key (Act_id) REFERENCES ACTIVITY,
Foreign Key (Emp_id) REFERENCES EMPLOYEE,
CONSTRAINT CK_ALLOCATION_RATE CHECK(Hourly_rate > 0 and Hourly_rate<300)
);
CREATE TABLE ACTION(
Week_no number(2) NOT NULL,
Hrs_worked number(4,1) NOT NULL,
Act_id number(4) NOT NULL,
emp_id number(4) NOT NULL,
Primary Key (Week_no, Act_id, emp_id),
Foreign Key (Act_id) References Allocation,
Foreign Key (emp_id) References Allocation
);
Table employee, activity and allocation are created perfectly. but when i try to create table action and referencing the foreign key to table allocation, it says: ORA-02256: number of referencing columns must match referenced columns.
When using references I think it is a good idea to include the columns in both tables, even if the syntax makes this unnecessary (the default is to the primary key).
You have a composite primary key, so you need a composite key for the foreign reference:
CREATE TABLE ACTION (
Week_no number(2) NOT NULL,
Hrs_worked number(4,1) NOT NULL,
Act_id number(4) NOT NULL,
emp_id number(4) NOT NULL,
Primary Key (Week_no, Act_id, emp_id),
Foreign Key (Act_id, emp_id) References Allocation(Act_id, emp_id)
);
