Well if we are talking about how to shoot yourself in the foot, then you can also disable foreign keys temporarily with the alter table command (I believe). I use it in my code to be able to truncate tables with foreign keys pointed at them (NOT to intentionally mess up my data!). Received on Tue Jun 05 2001 - 18:46:38 CDT
