解决错误代码：1005。无法创建表 '' (errno: 150) 错误

我正在 mysql 中创建以下三个表

1. 邮政局长
2. 广告
3. 候选人主

这是创建语句

邮政局长

CREATE TABLE `postmaster` (
  `POSTCODE` int(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `POSTNAME` varchar(250) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`POSTCODE`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

广告

CREATE TABLE `advertisment` (
  `ADVTNO` varchar(35) NOT NULL,
  `ADVTDATE` date NOT NULL,
  `POSTCODE` int(2) NOT NULL,
  `ADVTOPENDATE` date NOT NULL COMMENT 'ADVERTISEMENT OPENING DATE',
  `ADVTCLOSEDATE` date NOT NULL COMMENT 'ADVERTISEMENT CLOSING DATE',
  `EDITCLOSEDATE` date NOT NULL COMMENT 'CLOSING DATE FOR EDITING APPLICATION',
  `LASTREPRINTDATE` date NOT NULL COMMENT 'LAST DATE FOR REPRINTING APPLICATION',
  `FEESCST` int(4) NOT NULL COMMENT 'FEE FOR SC/ST CATEGORY',
  `FEESTAFF` int(4) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'FEE FOR STAFF ',
  `FEEOBC` int(4) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'FEE FOR OBC CATEGORY',
  `ADVOCATEEXPERIENCE` int(2) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`ADVTNO`,`ADVTDATE`,`POSTCODE`),
  KEY `fk_post` (`POSTCODE`),
  CONSTRAINT `fk_post` FOREIGN KEY (`POSTCODE`) REFERENCES `postmaster` (`POSTCODE`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

到这里为止一切都很好，但是当我去创造时CANDIDATEMAIN表我收到错误

这是创建语句候选人主

CREATE TABLE `candidatemain` (

  `ADVTNO` varchar(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `ADVTDATE` date NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00',
  `POSTCODE` int(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `REGISTRATIONNO` int(6) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `SALUTATION` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  `FULLNAME` varchar(90) NOT NULL,
  `SURNAME` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL,
  `NAME` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `LASTNAME` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL,
  `LASTUPDATEDIP` varchar(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `LASTUPDATEDDATE` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `ENTRYDATE` date NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`ADVTNO`,`ADVTDATE`,`POSTCODE`,`REGISTRATIONNO`),
  KEY `FK_ADVT` (`ADVTNO`, `ADVTDATE`,`POSTCODE`) ,
  CONSTRAINT `FK_ADVT` FOREIGN KEY (`ADVTNO`, `ADVTDATE`,`POSTCODE`) REFERENCES `advertisment` (`ADVTNO`, `ADVTDATE`,`POSTCODE`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

我得到的错误是：

Error Code: 1005. Can't create table 'dbName.candidatemain' (errno: 150)

导致此错误的原因可能是什么？

MYSql版本：mysql 版本 14.14 Distrib 5.1.53，适用于 Win64

Create advertisment默认字符集为的表utf8;

latin1列不等于utf8列。因此外键约束不能正确形成。因此1005 (ER_CANT_CREATE_TABLE) error.

这是我的 mysql 日志。
