How can I temporarily disable a foreign key constraint in MySQL?
Is it possible to temporarily disable constraints in MySQL?
I have two Django models, each with a foreign key to the other one. Deleting instances of a model returns an error because of the foreign key constraint:
cursor.execute("DELETE FROM myapp_item WHERE n = %s", n)
transaction.commit_unless_managed() #a foreign key constraint fails here
cursor.execute("DELETE FROM myapp_style WHERE n = %s", n)
transaction.commit_unless_managed()
Is it possible to temporarily disable constraints and delete anyway?
