WL#1438: Improving 'foreign keys' functionality for InnoDB
Affects: Server-7.1
—
Status: Un-Assigned
1. Provide using of user defined names of constrains in InnoDB foreign key 2. Provide using of class foreign_key in InnoDB to avoid double parsing of query To clarify a bit what point "1." is about, this is an email conversation between peterg and vva on 2003-01-13: PG> Does this mean that you think we should allow PG> ALTER TABLE Table1 DROP CONSTRAINT constraint_name; PG> ? VVA> Not exactly.. I don't want to change mysql syntax in this WL.. VVA> Look at this: mysql> create table t2(i int, index(i), foreign key key_which_I_want_to_give_name_to(i) references t2(i))engine=innodb; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec) mysql> show create table t2; +-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Create Table | +-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | t2 | CREATE TABLE `t2` ( `i` int(11) default NULL, KEY `i` (`i`), CONSTRAINT `0_17` FOREIGN KEY (`i`) REFERENCES `t2` (`i`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 | +-------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) VVA> InnoDB ignore name that I give for key (key_which_I_want_to_give_name_to) VVA> It give name '0_17' for it.. VVA> I only want to force InnoDB to use mysql syntax possibilities completely.
