外键约束
自带的引擎只有innoDB引擎支持外键,外键要求父表必须有对应列的索引,子表会自动创建索引
下面是两个表country国家,字表city
创建国家表
last_update语句的意思是时间戳不为空,默认插入(第三条插入表明以实际插入数值为准)和更新时间为当前时间
primary key 有两个作用,一是约束作用(constraint),用来规范一个存储主键和唯一性,但同时也在此key上建立了一个主键索引
CREATE TABLE country(
country_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
country VARCHAR(20),
last_update TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ONUPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY(country_id)
);
INSERT INTO country VALUES(1,'china',NOW());
insert into country values(2,'japan',curdate());
insert into country values(3,'usa','2007-11-20 11:11:50');
mysql> select * from country;
+------------+---------+---------------------+
| country_id | country | last_update |
+------------+---------+---------------------+
| 1 | china | 2019-07-12 09:30:16 |
| 2 | japan | 2019-07-12 00:00:00 |
| 3 | usa | 2007-11-20 11:11:50 |

创建城市表
KEY idx_fk_coutry_id (country_id) country_id为索引,可以不要,因为创建外键会创建该列的索引
添加外键的语句:创建约束fk_city_country,外键 FOREIGN KEY 所在列是本表country_id,级联REFERENCES的是表country的country_id列,country表不能单独删除,级联更新
CREATE TABLE city(
city_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL auto_increment,
city VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
last_update TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
country_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (city_id),
KEY idx_fk_coutry_id (country_id),
CONSTRAINT fk_city_country FOREIGN KEY (country_id) REFERENCES country (country_id) ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE CASCADE
)ENGINE=INNODB default CHARSET=UTF8;
INSERT INTO city values(1,'nanjing',NOW(),1);
mysql> select * from city;
+---------+---------+---------------------+------------+
| city_id | city | last_update | country_id |
+---------+---------+---------------------+------------+
| 1 | nanjing | 2019-07-12 09:32:28 | 1 |
+---------+---------+---------------------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
更新外键和删除操作
#更新country
mysql> update country set country_id=2 where country_id=1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)
#更新后查询,city级联更新
mysql> select * from country;
+------------+---------+---------------------+
| country_id | country | last_update |
+------------+---------+---------------------+
| 2 | japan | 2019-07-12 00:00:00 |
| 3 | usa | 2007-11-20 11:11:50 |
| 10 | china | 2019-07-12 09:34:32 |
+------------+---------+---------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from city;
+---------+---------+---------------------+------------+
| city_id | city | last_update | country_id |
+---------+---------+---------------------+------------+
| 1 | nanjing | 2019-07-12 09:32:28 | 10 |
+---------+---------+---------------------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
#删除city
mysql> delete from country where country_id=1;
ERROR 1451 (23000): Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`test`.`city`, CONSTRAINT `fk_city_country` FOREIGN KEY (`country_id`) REFERENCES `country` (`country_id`) ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE CA SCADE)
