MySQL中建立外键问题

[寻找Python之禅]

哪位高手能给发一些有关MySQL中建立外键约束的详细介绍资料，本人在table中建立外键约束时总是提示同一个错误“ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table 'xxx' (errno: 121)”，不知该如何解决，因此在建table时，不敢加外键约束，在网上收了很久都没找到有关的详解，很是苦恼。
还请各位高人给予指教！

你的MYSQL版本是多少？
用的什么存储引擎？

mysql> create table t1 (
    ->  id int primary key,
    ->  col int
    -> )engine=innodb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)

mysql> create table t2 (
    ->  id      int primary key,
    ->  tid int,
    ->  FOREIGN KEY (tid) REFERENCES t1(id)
    -> )engine=innodb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)

mysql> insert into t2 values (2,1);

create table t2 (
    ->  id      int primary key,
    ->  tid int,
    ->  FOREIGN KEY (tid) REFERENCES t1(id)
    -> )engine=innodb;

mysql innodb支持外键约束myisam不支持外键

mysql要5.1版本才支持外键约束吧！
show variables like 'foreign_key_checks' 看看支持不？
