How to truncate a foreign key constrained table?
Why doesn't a TRUNCATE on mygroup
work?
Even though I have ON DELETE CASCADE SET
I get:
ERROR 1701 (42000): Cannot truncate a table referenced in a foreign key constraint (
mytest
.instance
, CONSTRAINTinstance_ibfk_1
FOREIGN KEY (GroupID
) REFERENCESmytest
.mygroup
(ID
))
drop database mytest;
create database mytest;
use mytest;
CREATE TABLE mygroup (
ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE instance (
ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
GroupID INT NOT NULL,
DateTime DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (GroupID) REFERENCES mygroup(ID) ON DELETE CASCADE,
UNIQUE(GroupID)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
