sql how to set foreign key code example
Example 1: sql foreign key
CREATE TABLE users(
userId INT NOT NULL,
username VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
passwd VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(userId);
);
INSERT INTO users VALUES(1000,"Terry","Teabagface$2");
CREATE TABLE orders(
orderId INT NOT NULL,
orderDescription VARCHAR(255),
ordererId INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(orderId),
FOREIGN KEY (ordererId) REFERENCES users(userId)
);
INSERT INTO orders VALUES(0001,"Goat p0rn Weekly",1000);
Example 2: foreign key in sql
A FOREIGN KEY is a key used to link two tables together.
A FOREIGN KEY is a field (or collection of fields) in one table that refers to the PRIMARY KEY in another table.
The table containing the foreign key is called the child table, and the table containing the candidate key is called the referenced or parent table.
Example:
CREATE TABLE users(
user_id INT NOT NULL,
user_name VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
user_pass VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(user_id);
);
INSERT INTO users VALUES(1,"Raj","raj@123");
CREATE TABLE orders(
order_id INT NOT NULL,
order_description VARCHAR(255),
orderer_id INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(order_id),
FOREIGN KEY (orderer_id) REFERENCES users(user_id)
);
INSERT INTO orders VALUES(1,"Daily groceries",1);
Example 3: sql foreign key
CREATE TABLE orders (
id int NOT NULL,
user_id int,
product_id int,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id),
FOREIGN KEY (product_id) REFERENCES products(id)
);
Example 4: foreign key in sql
Foreign Key:
It is a column that comes from a different table and
using Foreign key tables are related each other
It is the primary key of another table
It can be duplicate or null for another table
Primary Key :
It is unique column in every table in a database
It can ONLY accept;
- nonduplicate values
- cannot be NULL
Unique Key:
Only unique value and also can contain NULL
