FOREIGN KEY constraints are parsed but are not enforced.
Hi, what does the above statement on the SQLite website mean? Call me stupid but I do not understand the word "parsed", I was thinking it meant, it recognises them if you put them in your create table statement but it does not enforce them, is this correct? I looked it up in a dictionary but it confused me more, this is what it said for the word parsed :- 1. To break (a sentence) down into its component parts of speech with an explanation of the form, function, and syntactical relationship of each part. 2. To describe (a word) by stating its part of speech, form, and syntactical relationships in a sentence. 3. a. To examine closely or subject to detailed analysis, especially by breaking up into components: "What are we missing by parsing the behavior of chimpanzees into the conventional categories recognized largely from our own behavior?" (Stephen Jay Gould). b. To make sense of; comprehend: I simply couldn't parse what you just said. 4. Computer Science. To analyze or separate (input, for example) into more easily processed components.
