But unfortunately it's not what SQLite does. See section 2 of <https://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html> I think that the reason is that FOREIGN KEYs were developed a long time after SQLite3. A choice was made that they should default to OFF to preserve backward compatibility. So yes, as your experiment shows, you have to execute PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON each time you open a database connection if you want the foreign keys to do their stuff.
