hosefo81 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Below are a few of my mysql tables. I have problem with the sales_detail table. How can i make the prod_id in the sales_detail table reference the prod_id in the product table? i\'m confused as the sales_id and prod_id in sales details are primary key. Can primary key be reference? I have this problem because i once accidentally enter a prod_id in sales_details that does not exist in the product table and the database accepts it without error. How can i correct this situation? If yes, how can i alter the sales_details table? CREATE TABLE PRODUCT ( PROD_ID VARCHAR(5) NOT NULL, PROD_NAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, PROD_DESC VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, PROD_PRICE DECIMAL NOT NULL, PROD_CAT INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(PROD_ID), FOREIGN KEY(PROD_CAT) REFERENCES CATEGORY, ); CREATE TABLE SALES ( SALES_ID INT NOT NULL, SALES_DATE DATE NOT NULL, CUST_ID VARCHAR(5) NOT NULL, EMP_ID VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(SALES_ID), FOREIGN KEY (CUST_ID) REFERENCES CUSTOMER, FOREIGN KEY (EMP_ID) REFERENCES EMPLOYEE, ); CREATE TABLE SALES_DETAIL ( SALES_ID INT NOT NULL, PROD_ID VARCHAR(5) NOT NULL, QUANTITY INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (SALES_ID, PROD_ID), ); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
