My reading of the mentioned paragraph is another: It only describes the case when foreign key constraints may temporably be broken during a multi table update, so that the InnoDB engine does not perform the query. Although my question goes in that direction, it is more about why this statement does not act atomically from my applications point of view. > update table2, table1 > SET table2.value=table2.value-IF(table1.condition=7,1,0), > table1.condition=8 > WHERE table1.ID = table2.ID_table1 I wonder if a subselect can help here, too.
