Temporarily disabling referential constraints (set FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS to 0) is useful when you need to re-create the tables and load data in any parent-child order. … As an alternative, you can firstly create tables without foreign key constraints, load data and then create foreign keys using ALTER TABLE statements.
How do you set a foreign key to 0?
- SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
- SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;
- ALTER TABLE table_name DISABLE KEYS;
- ALTER TABLE table_name ENABLE KEYS;
- ALTER TABLE table_name1 DROP FOREIGN KEY fk_name1; ALTER TABLE table_name2 DROP FOREIGN KEY fk_name2;
What are foreign key checks?
A foreign key is a column (or combination of columns) in a table whose values must match values of a column in some other table. FOREIGN KEY constraints enforce referential integrity, which essentially says that if column value A refers to column value B, then column value B must exist.
