Yes - the ticket for this problem (#3615) already has a patch that
uses this technique.

However, I was under the impression that this has the effect of
disabling, not just deferring key checks - that is, if you disable
checks, load bad data, then re-enable checks, no errors will be
raised. We don't want to be responsible for breaking the referential
integrity of a database, so this isn't a viable solution.

If I've misunderstood the behaviour of SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, or you
have any other suggestions, let me know - I'd very much like to put
this bug behind us.

Yours,
