Once executed db_check.pl on a server with Abills 0.78.16:
cd /usr/abills/misc/db_check
./db_check.pl
And got an error:
Current: SMALLINT(6) AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL
Change to : SMALLINT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE `users_contact_types` MODIFY COLUMN `id` SMALLINT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL;

I tried to disable the “FOREIGN KEY” check and execute sql queries again, but other errors occurred:

SET GLOBAL FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;

Solved the problem by removing both “FOREIGN KEY” from the users_contacts table:
ALTER TABLE users_contacts DROP FOREIGN KEY users_contacts_ibfk_1;
ALTER TABLE users_contacts DROP FOREIGN KEY users_contacts_ibfk_2;
After that, I executed the SQL queries of db_check.pl and then created both “FOREIGN KEY” as before:
ALTER TABLE users_contacts
ADD FOREIGN KEY (uid)
REFERENCES users(uid)
ON DELETE CASCADE;
ALTER TABLE users_contacts
ADD FOREIGN KEY (type_id)
REFERENCES users_contact_types(id)
ON DELETE CASCADE;
