 You may also easily drop a foreign key constraint. The default foreign key names follow the [same convention](#dropping-indexes) as the other indexes created by the Schema builder. Here's an example:
 
-	$table->drop_foreign('posts_user_id_foreign');
\ No newline at end of file
+	$table->drop_foreign('posts_user_id_foreign');
+
+> **Note:** The field referenced in the foreign key is very likely an auto increment and therefore automatically an unsigned integer. Please make sure to create the foreign key field with **unsigned()** as both fields have to be the exact same type, the engine on both tables has to be set to **InnoDB**, and the referenced table must be created **before** the table with the foreign key.
