SQL FOREIGN KEY Constraint
CREATE TABLE product ( category INT NOT NULL, id INT NOT NULL, price DECIMAL, PRIMARY KEY(category, id) ) ENGINE=INNODB; CREATE TABLE customer ( id INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=INNODB; CREATE TABLE product_order ( no INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, product_category INT NOT NULL, product_id INT NOT NULL, customer_id INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(no), INDEX (product_category, product_id), INDEX (customer_id), FOREIGN KEY (product_category, product_id) REFERENCES product(category, id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT, FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customer(id) ) ENGINE=INNODB;
Adding foreign keys
ALTER TABLEtbl_name
ADD [CONSTRAINT [symbol
]] FOREIGN KEY [index_name
] (index_col_name
, ...) REFERENCEStbl_name
(index_col_name
,...) [ON DELETEreference_option
] [ON UPDATEreference_option
]
ALTER TABLE Orders
ADD CONSTRAINT fk_PerOrders
FOREIGN KEY (P_Id)
REFERENCES Persons(P_Id)
ALTER TABLE Orders
ADD FOREIGN KEY (P_Id)
REFERENCES Persons(P_Id)
I am also intrigued in this subject matter. I have spent a whole lot of time on searching this sort of subject. It is extremely useful.
