When MySQL says that it doesn't support referential integrity, all it means
is that it doesn't set any constraints on drops or deletes if a foreign key
points to that table. You can "make" foreign keys perfectly okay, just
remember that it is up to the individual programs that access the database
to make sure they don't rip apart the database.
