Hello, I have another "borderline" question about SQL in SQLite. Look at the following example
------------------------------------------- PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON; CREATE TABLE toto1 ( id_toto1 INTEGER PRIMARY KEY , id_toto2_and_toto3 INTEGER NOT NULL , FOREIGN KEY ( id_toto2_and_toto3 ) REFERENCES toto2 ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE , FOREIGN KEY ( id_toto2_and_toto3 ) REFERENCES toto3 ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE ); CREATE TABLE toto2 ( id_toto2 INTEGER PRIMARY KEY , name VARCHAR ); CREATE TABLE toto3 ( id_toto3 INTEGER PRIMARY KEY , name VARCHAR ); -- The two following lines are needed, otherwise "foreign key constraint -- failed" is obtained. INSERT INTO toto2 ( name ) VALUES ( "foo" ); INSERT INTO toto3 ( name ) VALUES ( "bar" ); INSERT INTO toto1 ( id_toto2_and_toto3 ) VALUES ( 1 ); ------------------------------------------- Is this legal to have a foreign key that references several tables? Thanks, Julien -- python -c "print ''.join([chr(154 - ord(c)) for c in '*9(9&(18%.\ 9&1+,\'Z4(55l4('])" "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."
