问题描述

同一列可以有主键 &外键约束到另一列?

Can the same column have primary key & foreign key constraint to another column?

Table1: ID - Primary column, foreign key constraint for Table2 ID
Table2: ID - Primary column, Name 

如果我尝试删除 table1 数据，这会是一个问题吗?

Will this be an issue if i try to delete table1 data?

Delete from table1 where ID=1000;

谢谢.

推荐答案

应该没问题.考虑以下示例:

There should be no problem with that. Consider the following example:

CREATE TABLE table2 (
   id int PRIMARY KEY,
   name varchar(20)
) ENGINE=INNODB;

CREATE TABLE table1 (
   id int PRIMARY KEY, 
   t2_id int, 
   FOREIGN KEY (t2_id) REFERENCES table2 (id)
) ENGINE=INNODB;

INSERT INTO table2 VALUES (1, 'First Row');
INSERT INTO table2 VALUES (2, 'Second Row');

INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (1, 1);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (2, 1);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (3, 1);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (4, 2);

这些表格现在包含:

SELECT * FROM table1;
+----+-------+
| id | t2_id |
+----+-------+
|  1 |     1 |
|  2 |     1 |
|  3 |     1 |
|  4 |     2 |
+----+-------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT * FROM table2;
+----+------------+
| id | name       |
+----+------------+
|  1 | First Row  |
|  2 | Second Row |
+----+------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

现在我们可以像这样成功删除行了:

Now we can successfully delete rows like this:

DELETE FROM table1 WHERE id = 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

DELETE FROM table1 WHERE t2_id = 2;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

但是我们无法删除以下内容:

However we won't be able to delete the following:

DELETE FROM table2 WHERE id = 1;
ERROR 1451 (23000): A foreign key constraint fails

如果我们在 table1 上使用 CASCADE 选项，我们本来可以删除父级，所有子级都会被自动删除:

If we had defined the foreign key on table1 with the CASCADE option, we would have been able to delete the parent, and all the children would get deleted automatically:

CREATE TABLE table2 (
   id int PRIMARY KEY,
   name varchar(20)
) ENGINE=INNODB;

CREATE TABLE table1 (
   id int PRIMARY KEY, 
   t2_id int, 
   FOREIGN KEY (t2_id) REFERENCES table2 (id) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ENGINE=INNODB;

INSERT INTO table2 VALUES (1, 'First Row');
INSERT INTO table2 VALUES (2, 'Second Row');

INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (1, 1);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (2, 1);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (3, 1);
INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (4, 2);

如果我们要重复之前失败的 DELETE，table1 中的子行以及 table2 中的父行将被删除:

If we were to repeat the previously failed DELETE, the children rows in table1 will be deleted as well as the parent row in table2:

DELETE FROM table2 WHERE id = 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

SELECT * FROM table1;
+----+-------+
| id | t2_id |
+----+-------+
|  4 |     2 |
+----+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT * FROM table2;
+----+------------+
| id | name       |
+----+------------+
|  2 | Second Row |
+----+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
