Hello Everyone! I made a series of tables and i think i did everything correct. i entered my input values on all the tables without a hitch except for the LOCATION table.

this is the Error thats giving me.

INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES (1, 1, 1, 300, 101, 0, '01-JAN-2004', '30-JUN-2004', 1);
INSERT INTO LOCATION VALUES (1, 1, 1, 300, 101, 0, '01-JAN-2004', '30-JUN-2004', 1)

ERROR at line 1: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (ASSIGNMENT.FK_TENANT) violated - parent key not found.

Any help and tips will be appreciated. THanks!

fixed.

Your insert statement is trying to insert a value into column TENANT_NUM which doesn't exist in the TENANT table - (There's a foreign key constraint on the Location table).
