WHERE vs. ON

Somebody, I think it was somebody from MySQL, said that you should never put anything into a WHERE clause that could be put into the ON clause of a JOIN. My guess is that this helps with the optimization, but it seems counter-intuitive to me. I've never followed that advice, but I'm starting to

Algorithm for resolving foreign key dependencies?

Hi, First of all, I apologise in advance for any mind-altering, or headache-inducing effects this question may have. I've spent the past two days trying to figure it out, and all I've got to show for it is a mostly-working recursive depth-first-search routine and an empty packet of

Try looking at the information_schema.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE table (where referenced_table_schema is not null). It will show you the FK relationships. You could then create a tree that you could use to find the hierarchy. For that, I suggest looking at

Sounds like you want to walk tables in order of their fk dependencies - a topological ordering. You might want to take a look at SQLAlchemy which has some methods to do just this in sqlalchemy.sql.util: def sort_tables(tables, reverse=False): sort a collection of Table objects in order of

Hi Philip, Am I missing something here? (It is late after a long day, I admit!) In the example case you've given, if the foreign key in Parts is set to ON DELETE CASCADE, and you delete a row from Manufacturer, MySQL will first delete the associated records in Parts before deleting the row
