*Question No. 01* there are some kind of foreign key in database Some of them want give any error when you delete from the table where the foreign key is in, this cause the remove is "recursive" and it delete also the ORDER linked to the CUSTOMER (CASCADE foreign key). In other kind of foreign key (I don't remember the name) you cannot delete CUSTOMER if there is some ORDER linked to them. hope this will help c-ya 2007/3/26, Lasitha Alawatta <Lasitha.A@xxxxxxxx>:
Hello, I have 2 issue, regarding MySQL "Foreign Key". I have two tables; Table 01 *CUSTOMER* column name characteristic SID Primary Key Full_Name Table *ORDERS* column name characteristic Order_ID Primary Key Order_Date Customer_SID Foreign Key Amount When I run "ALTER TABLE ORDERS ADD FOREIGN KEY (customer_sid) REFERENCES CUSTOMER(SID);" that sql statement, I inserted 2 records to both tables. * * *Question No. 01.* Then I removed 1 record from CUSTOMER table. But It want give any error message. It should give an error message, because in ORDERS table already have some records relevant to the deleted customer record in CUSTOMER table. Question is why it want give any error ? (I'm using phpMyAdmin) *Question No. 02.* Is there any tool available for to get a Database diagram (like in MS SQL Server). I found a tool call "DBDesigner 4". But it wants show the DB Diagram. Thanks in Advance, Lasitha.
