DataJoint:删除表时出现完整性错误

Question

我正在设计数据库，并在 common_exp 架构中有一个名为 Session 的表，其定义如下:

@schema
class Session(dj.Manual):
    definition = """ # Information about the session and experimental setup
    -> common_mice.Mouse
    day             : date           # Date of the experimental session (YYYY-MM-DD)
    trial           : tinyint        # Counter of experimental sessions on the same day (base 1)
    ---
    id              : varchar(128)   # Unique identifier
    path            : varchar(256)   # Relative path of this session on the server
    counter         : smallint       # Overall counter of all sessions across mice (base 0)
    experimenter    : varchar(128)   # Who actually performed the experiment, must be a username from Investigator
    -> Anesthesia
    -> Setup
    -> Task
    notes           : varchar(2048)  # description of important things that happened
    """

我想更改某些属性的名称，因此想删除该表。但是，我遇到了这个错误:

common_exp.Session().drop()
`common_exp`.`session` (0 tuples)
Proceed? [yes, No]: >? yes

如您所见，该表是空的，并且没有进一步的依赖项。错误消息也没有告诉我哪些键造成了问题，或者是哪个其他表，所以我有点困惑问题可能出在哪里。

我使用 root 帐户访问数据库，因此权限应该不是问题。从其他架构中删除表是可行的，只是此架构会产生此错误。

感谢您的提问 -

基于表中没有记录但删除因此错误而失败的事实，似乎确实存在使用返回 session 表的外键定义的下游表，因此删除 session 表将留下这些表“孤立”，从而产生完整性错误。从示例中尚不清楚情况并非如此。

以下 SQL 查询在架构级别检查正向/反向依赖关系(回答问题:“哪个架构依赖于哪个其他架构”):

    SELECT distinct(UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA)
    FROM information_schema.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS
    where constraint_schema='my_schema'; -- forward dependencies for 'my_schema'

    SELECT distinct(CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA)
    FROM information_schema.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS
    where unique_constraint_schema='my_schema'; -- reverse dependencies for 'my_schema'

不幸的是，我不记得精确的列，但表级信息也可以在信息架构中找到。
