创建外键的 MySQL 语法

Question

此语法在创建外键时是否正确？

create table department
(
  departmentID int not null auto_increment primary key,
  name varchar(30)
) type=InnoDB;

create table employee
(
  employeeID int not null auto_increment primary key,
  name varchar(80),
  job varchar(30),
  departmentID int not null references department(departmentID)
) type=InnoDB;

Answer 1

看起来 MySQL 接受了它(不提示语法)但实际上并没有创建外键。

要创建这个外键，运行这个命令:

ALTER TABLE employee ADD CONSTRAINT fk_department FOREIGN KEY (departmentID) REFERENCES department (departmentID);
