#1452 - Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails? (1 reply)

I have a shopping cart and am trying to do a fresh install of it while preserving the existing data in the database. So I installed the new version of the cart in a separate folder with a new database. I then followed the instructions below:

1. select the new database
2. go to tab "structure"
3. check all tables
4. "with selected" -> empty

Rather that exporting and importing it could be worth a try to copy the old data into the new database
(it assumes they run on the same server)
1. select the old database
2. go to tab "operations"
3. copy database to -> "livecart_new" (name of the new database you have already created)
- select "data only"
It should now copy the old data into the new database.

I was able to successfully empty all the tables of the fresh install, but ran into this when I tried to copy the data from the old database into the new empty database:

Error
SQL query: DocumentationEdit

INSERT INTO `robertco_LC131`.`AccessControlAssociation`
SELECT *
FROM `robertco_LC`.`AccessControlAssociation`

MySQL said: Documentation
#1452 - Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`robertco_LC131/AccessControlAssociation`, CONSTRAINT `UserGroup_AccessControlAssociation` FOREIGN KEY (`userGroupID`) REFERENCES `UserGroup` (`ID`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE)

Can anyone assist me with this error? How come I simply can't copy data from old to new?
