Description

Hello,
The command line manage.py loaddata is raising an error. I have tried to dump only the dj_survey application but I am getting a similar message. I have also tested the same scenario using json format. for your infomation the file initial_data was built using the dumpdata command.

Here it is the error message:
C:\yml\_myScript_\dj_things\web_development\workspace\dj_project>manage.py loaddata initial_data.json
Loading 'initial_data' fixtures...
Installing json fixture 'initial_data' from absolute path.
Problem installing fixture 'initial_data.json': (1452, 'Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails

(dj_project/dj_survey_interview, CONSTRAINT interviewee_id_refs_id_622e9931 FOREIGN KEY (interviewee_id) REFERENC

ES dj_survey_interviewee (id))')

Thank you

I got the same problem. A way to resolve this error is a little bit rude.
STEP A, I use MySQL, so connect MySQL by command-line client
STEP B, Drop foreign key, such as

ALTER TABLE beta_digest DROP FOREIGN KEY next_id_refs_id_752367b9;

STEP C, run "manage.py loaddate"
STEP D, create foreign key constrant again, such as

ALTER TABLE beta_digest ADD CONSTRAINT next_id_refs_id_752367b9 FOREIGN KEY (next_id) REFERENCES beta_digest (id);

The command used in STEP B and STEP D can be found by "manage.py sqlreset"

BTW, I use xml format as data format.

I'm pretty sure this is due to an issue that's explicitly covered in the loaddata documentation: MySQL has known, severe issues with forward references in fixtures that we really can't work around.

Ticket #3615 refers to this same issue.
