ORA-02270 - Can't find fault - sql

Having trouble with a ORA-02270 error. After going through the primary keys and foreign keys over and over, I can't find what the problem is.
CREATE TABLE CUSTACC(
REFNO CHAR(4),
ACCNO NUMBER(7),
CONSTRAINT CUSTACC_PK PRIMARY KEY (REFNO, ACCNO));
CREATE TABLE CUST(
CUSTNO CHAR(4),
NAME VARCHAR2(30),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50),
AREA VARCHAR2(10),
CONSTRAINT CUSTNO_PK PRIMARY KEY(CUSTNO),
CONSTRAINT CUSTNO_FK FOREIGN KEY (CUSTNO)
REFERENCES CUSTACC(REFNO));
CREATE TABLE ACC(
ACCNO NUMBER(7),
BALANCE NUMBER(8,2),
BRANCH VARCHAR2(10),
OPENED DATE,
BONUS NUMBER(8,2),
CONSTRAINT ACCNO_PK PRIMARY KEY (ACCNO),
CONSTRAINT ACCNO_FK FOREIGN KEY (ACCNO)
REFERENCES CUSTACC(ACCNO));
I must be blind but I've checked everything people have suggested before.

The primary key on CUSTACC consists of two columns: REFNO and ACCNO.
The foreign key reference should include both of them. So, your tables need both columns.
I suspect, in fact, that you want the foreign key reference in the first table, something like this:
CREATE TABLE CUST (
CUSTNO CHAR(4),
NAME VARCHAR2(30),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50),
AREA VARCHAR2(10),
CONSTRAINT CUSTNO_PK PRIMARY KEY(CUSTNO)
);
CREATE TABLE ACC (
ACCNO NUMBER(7),
BALANCE NUMBER(8,2),
BRANCH VARCHAR2(10),
OPENED DATE,
BONUS NUMBER(8,2),
CONSTRAINT ACCNO_PK PRIMARY KEY (ACCNO)
);
CREATE TABLE CUSTACC (
REFNO CHAR(4),
ACCNO NUMBER(7),
CONSTRAINT CUSTACC_PK PRIMARY KEY (REFNO, ACCNO),
CONSTRAINT CUSTNO_FK FOREIGN KEY (REFNO)
REFERENCES CUST(CUSTNO),
CONSTRAINT ACCNO_FK FOREIGN KEY (ACCNO)
REFERENCES ACC(ACCNO)
);
Here is a SQL Fiddle.

'Missing keyword' this error is coming while i create a table

'Missing keyword' this error is coming while I create a table using the below query:
CREATE TABLE ACCTS
(
ACCT_NO NUMBER (12),
ACCTH_NAME VARCHAR2(50),
ACCTH_ADD VARCHAR2(100),
ACCTH_STATE VARCHAR2(50),

CONSTRAINT ACCT_TYPE_CODE_FK2 FOREIGN KEY (ACCT_TYPE_CODE) REFERENCES ACCT_TYPES(ACCT_TYPE_CODE)

I added your query to SQL Fiddle (adding the missing tables so the foreign key constraints will work) and the query works:
CREATE TABLE STATES
(
STATE_ID VARCHAR2(50),
CONSTRAINT ACCT_STATE_ID PRIMARY KEY (STATE_ID)
);
CREATE TABLE ACCT_TYPES

Oracle SQL: Receiving 'no matching unique or primary key' error and don't know why

I'm receiving this error when trying to create a table and I don't know why:
[2016-07-05 14:08:02] [42000][2270] ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
This question seems different (to me) from a similar question, because in that question the OP is referencing a table with a composite PK, while I am not.
And while this other question has the same error code, it is because the OP is incorrectly references the primary key, which I don't think I did.
May someone more experienced in SQL educate me?
(A couple of things to note: 1) I know the table/column names have small errors/deviations from convention, but this is for homework, and the teacher requires I have the tables and rows declared exactly his way, even if it's non-conventional. 2) Yes, that's silly; but no, I can't change it or I get marked down.)
CREATE TABLE Student_Course
(
Stu_ID NUMBER(5) NOT NULL,
Course_ID VARCHAR2(8) NOT NULL,
Section# NUMBER(3),
CONSTRAINT pk_stu_crse PRIMARY KEY (Stu_ID, Course_ID),
CONSTRAINT fk_course_id FOREIGN KEY (Course_ID) REFERENCES course(Course_ID),
CONSTRAINT fk_stu_id FOREIGN KEY (Stu_ID) REFERENCES student(Stu_ID),
CONSTRAINT fk_section FOREIGN KEY (Section#) REFERENCES course(Section#)
)
There are only two, small, referenced tables, which are:
CREATE TABLE student
(
Stu_ID NUMBER(5) PRIMARY KEY ,
Lname VARCHAR2(20),
Fname VARCHAR2(20),
Mi CHAR(1),
Sex CHAR(1),
Major VARCHAR2(15),
Home_State CHAR(2)
);
CREATE TABLE course
(
Course_ID VARCHAR2(8) PRIMARY KEY ,
Section# NUMBER(3),
C_Name VARCHAR2(30),
C_Description VARCHAR2(30)
);
A foreign key is a reference to a primary key in another table.
The last constraint CONSTRAINT fk_section FOREIGN KEY (Section#) REFERENCES course(Section#) won't work - Section# isn't a primary key in that table
Section# Must be at least UNIQUE in course table.
If you want to use Section# as a reference for a foreign key, it must be a UNIQUE or a PRIMARY KEY

Thanks to good answers, I'm posting my code which I corrected based on help here. Hope my corrections help others in the future.

query not working for foreign key as a composite primary key of another table oracle SQL

I am trying to add two foreign keys for an associative entity in SQL Oracle. The primary key that I am referring from another table is a composite primary key. When I try to enter the SQL it says
no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
The code that I used to create the tbl_customer
CREATE TABLE tbl_Customer(
customer_id NUMBER(4)
CONSTRAINT pk_customer PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerName VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
Telephone VARCHAR2(10),
CusEmail VARCHAR2(20),
CONSTRAINT cus_email UNIQUE(CusEmail),
location_id NUMBER(4)
CONSTRAINT fk_location_id references tbl_Location(location_id));
SQL to create tbl_Vehicle
CREATE TABLE tbl_Vehicle(
vehicle_id NUMBER(4),
PlateNo VARCHAR2(10),
CONSTRAINT pk_v PRIMARY KEY(vehicle_id,PlateNo),
Brand VARCHAR2(20),
Model VARCHAR2(10),
TotalNoSeats NUMBER(2),
Class VARCHAR2(4) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT no_seats CHECK (TotalNoSeats<100),
driver_id NUMBER(4)
CONSTRAINT fk_driveridV references tbl_Driver(driver_id),
location_id NUMBER(4)
CONSTRAINT fk_locationV references tbl_Location(location_id));
The associative table is
CREATE TABLE tbl_Customer_Vehicle(
customer_id NUMBER(4)
CONSTRAINT fk_customer_id references tbl_Customer(customer_id),
vehicle_id NUMBER(4)
CONSTRAINT fk_vehicle_id references tbl_Vehicle(vehicle_id)
);
where the error is in this line
CONSTRAINT fk_vehicle_id references tbl_Vehicle(vehicle_id)
*
Is this error because vehicle_id is a composite primary key?
Please help!!
You need to add PlateNo column in tbl_Customer_Vehicle table and define foreign key on it.
CREATE TABLE tbl_Customer_Vehicle
(
customer_id NUMBER(4)
CONSTRAINT fk_customer_id references tbl_Customer(customer_id),
vehicle_id NUMBER(4),
PlateNo VARCHAR2(10),
CONSTRAINT fk_vehicle_id_PlateNo FOREIGN KEY(vehicle_id,PlateNo)
references tbl_Vehicle(vehicle_id,PlateNo)
);

Cant create tables, sql error ORA-02270

Yeah, not too sure on this one. New to sql and I thought everything was done right, any ideas? If this is not the way to add foreign keys, could someone please explain to me how the correct way to do it is please? Would appreciate it, thanks.

and the error message I get is
SQL Error: ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list
02270. 00000 - "no matching unique or primary key for this column-list"
*Cause: A REFERENCES clause in a CREATE/ALTER TABLE statement
gives a column-list for which there is no matching unique or primary
key constraint in the referenced table.
*Action: Find the correct column names using the ALL_CONS_COLUMNS
catalog view
I get this error for every table after manifest btw
The error message is pretty clear. The reference for a foreign key needs to be a unique or primary key in the other table. So this is wrong in the category table.
FOREIGN KEY (category) REFERENCES manifest(category)
I assume you intend for the manifest to look like this:
CREATE TABLE manifest (
barcode NUMBER(10) PRIMARY KEY,
trip_id NUMBER(10) REFERENCES trip(trip_id),
pickup_customer_ref VARCHAR2(30),
delivery_customer_ref VARCHAR2(30),
category NUMBER(1) REFERENCES category(category),
weight NUMBER(10)
);
And so on for the other places where foreign keys are used. (This uses a short-hand notation for the foreign key reference; a separate clause in CREATE TABLE is also fine.)
Of course, the definition of manifest has to go after category and trip, in this example.
In other words, the reference goes in the other table, not where the primary key is defined.
Also, I would recommend being consistent with the names of the foreign keys. At the very least, they should generally have the same name as the primary key, where possible.
trip_id, vehicle_type_id, and employee_no all need to be marked as UNIQUE.

Creating foreign keys from entites that are located in separate tables

I've been scratching my head at this for hours.
I have four tables Book, Author, Allocation and WorkSession
I need to make a constraint that the combination of the bid and authID exists in the Allocation table from the WorkSession table.
I tried to create a foreign key constraint like you would normally do but it won't work because the id's referenced are both foreign keys already and I can't create a new key as an identifier for the allocations table
CREATE TABLE Book(
bid NUMBER(4),
title VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL,
SellingPrice NUMBER(6,2),
PRIMARY KEY (bid),
CONSTRAINT EM_SellingPrice CHECK(SellingPrice >= 0)
);
CREATE TABLE Author(
authID NUMBER(4),
fName VARCHAR2(30),
sName VARCHAR2(30),
PRIMARY KEY(authID),
CONSTRAINT EM_Name UNIQUE (fName,SName)
);
CREATE TABLE Allocation(
bid NUMBER(4),
authID NUMBER(4),
payRate NUMBER(6,2),
CONSTRAINT AL_PayRate CHECK(payRate >= 1 AND payRate < 80),
FOREIGN KEY(bid) REFERENCES Book(bid),
FOREIGN KEY(authID) REFERENCES Author(authID)
);
CREATE TABLE WorkSession(
bid NUMBER(4),
authID NUMBER(4),
WorkYear NUMBER(4),
WorkWeek NUMBER(2),
WorkHours NUMBER(4,2),
CONSTRAINT WY_Range CHECK(WorkYear > 2010 AND WorkYear < 2014),
CONSTRAINT WW_Range CHECK(WorkWeek >= 1 AND WorkWeek <= 52),
CONSTRAINT WH_Range CHECK(WorkHours >= 0.5 AND WorkHours <100),
CONSTRAINT FK_Check FOREIGN KEY(bid, AuthID) REFERENCES Allocation(bid, AuthID),
PRIMARY KEY(workYear, WorkWeek)
);
CREATE TABLE Allocation(
bid NUMBER(4),
authID NUMBER(4),
payRate NUMBER(6,2),
CONSTRAINT AL_PayRate CHECK(payRate >= 1 AND payRate < 80),
FOREIGN KEY(bid) REFERENCES Book(bid),
FOREIGN KEY(authID) REFERENCES Author(authID)
);
A foreign key constraint has to target something unique. You can do that with either a PRIMARY KEY constraint or a UNIQUE constraint on one or more columns. Your table "allocation", above, doesn't have either of those constraints.
If {bid, authid} are unique in the table "allocation", then you can declare PRIMARY KEY (bid, authid) in that table. A foreign key that REFERENCES allocation (bid, authid) should work then.
