Using Autoincrement Primary keys as Foreign Keys. Ask Question. It a good practice for us to use the autoincrement numeric primary as foreign key or should we use the programmatically generated code. I never make a table without an autoincrement primary key, and I always use this as the foreign key. I've never regretted. Using PERSISTENT generated columns as part of a foreign key is supported. Referencing PERSISTENT generated columns as part of a foreign key is also supported. However, using the ON UPDATE CASCADE, ON UPDATE SET NULL, or ON DELETE SET NULL clauses is not supported.

In the relational databases, a foreign key is a field or a column that is used to establish a link between two tables.

Mar 05, 2016  In this video I show you how to create two datasets related by a foreign key column using mockaroo.com. Skip navigation. How to generate datasets related by a foreign key using Mockaroo.

In simple words you can say that, a foreign key in one table used to point primary key in another table.

Let us take an example to explain it:

Here are two tables first one is students table and second is orders table.

Here orders are given by students.

Generated Always As Identity Oracle

First table:

Second table:

Here you see that 'S_Id' column in the 'Orders' table points to the 'S_Id' column in 'Students' table.

• The 'S_Id' column in the 'Students' table is the PRIMARY KEY in the 'Students' table.
• The 'S_Id' column in the 'Orders' table is a FOREIGN KEY in the 'Orders' table.

The foreign key constraint is generally prevents action that destroy links between tables.

It also prevents invalid data to enter in foreign key column.

SQL FOREIGN KEY constraint ON CREATE TABLE:

(Defining a foreign key constraint on single column)

To create a foreign key on the 'S_Id' column when the 'Orders' table is created:

MySQL:

SQL Server /Oracle / MS Access:

SQL FOREIGN KEY constraint for ALTER TABLE:

If the Order table is already created and you want to create a FOREIGN KEY constraint on the 'S_Id' column, you should write the following syntax:

Defining a foreign key constraint on single column:

MySQL / SQL Server / Oracle / MS Access:

DROP SYNTAX for FOREIGN KEY COSTRAINT:

If you want to drop a FOREIGN KEY constraint, use the following syntax:

Difference between primary key and foreign key in SQL:

These are some important difference between primary key and foreign key in SQL-

Primary key cannot be null on the other hand foreign key can be null.

Primary key is always unique while foreign key can be duplicated.

Primary key uniquely identify a record in a table while foreign key is a field in a table that is primary key in another table.

There is only one primary key in the table on the other hand we can have more than one foreign key in the table.

By default primary key adds a clustered index on the other hand foreign key does not automatically create an index, clustered or non-clustered. You must manually create an index for foreign key.
