If I create a table that uses REFERENCES in it, then mysqldump it, the REFERENCES isn't there
Notice the `contact_dept_table_id` field in both of the below outputs: CREATE TABLE `contact_table` ( `contact_id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `contact_timestamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL, `contact_dept_table_id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0' REFERENCES dept_table(dept_id), `contact_fname` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `contact_lname` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `contact_title` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `contact_email` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `contact_incept` date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', `contact_phone` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '', `contact_address1` varchar(70) NOT NULL default '', `contact_address2` varchar(70) NOT NULL default '', `contact_city` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `contact_state` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `contact_zip` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `contact_country` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', `contact_notes` longtext NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`contact_id`), KEY `contact_dept_table_id` (`contact_dept_table_id`), KEY `contact_lname` (`contact_lname`), KEY `contact_fname` (`contact_fname`), FOREIGN KEY (contact_dept_table_id) REFERENCES dept_table(dept_id) ON DELETE CASCADE ) TYPE=InnoDB; Then execute: [daevid=pts/1]5:01pm:{/home/daevid}> mysqldump -a crm -- MySQL dump 8.22 -- -- Host: localhost Database: crm --------------------------------------------------------- -- Server version 3.23.55-Max -- -- Table structure for table 'contact_table' -- CREATE TABLE contact_table ( contact_id mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, contact_timestamp timestamp(14) NOT NULL, contact_dept_table_id mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', /* shouldn't there be a REFERENCES here? */ contact_fname varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', contact_lname varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', contact_title varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', contact_email varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', contact_incept date NOT NULL default '0000-00-00', contact_phone varchar(20) NOT NULL default '', contact_address1 varchar(70) NOT NULL default '', contact_address2 varchar(70) NOT NULL default '', contact_city varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', contact_state varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', contact_zip varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', contact_country varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', contact_notes longtext NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (contact_id), KEY contact_dept_table_id (contact_dept_table_id), KEY contact_lname (contact_lname), KEY contact_fname (contact_fname), FOREIGN KEY (`contact_dept_table_id`) REFERENCES `crm.dept_table` (`dept_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ) TYPE=InnoDB; -- -- Dumping data for table 'contact_table' -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
