Hi Programmers, after this legal statement
ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE TYPE = InnoDB; I get Warnings: 0 and still MySQL claims to have to use Type = MyISAM, Which has never supported Foreign Key constraints. There must be a workaround for this, My queries are unambiguous, and MySQL does not obey. Is this fixed in later releases, please ? How can I increase the levels and sensitivity of the warnings, please ? Yours Sincerely Morten Gulbrandsen === C:\mysql\bin>type constraint.sql USE company; DESCRIBE EMPLOYEE; SHOW CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE; ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE TYPE = InnoDB; SHOW CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE; SHOW
