Hi all,


I have create a table A with a foreign key for a relation to table B.
The relation must be benot null so the corresponding attribute is set as
not null.

If I create a new A with the foreign key null, the record is saved with a 0.
I would expect that MySql would send me an exception without saving.
How can I get the correct behaviour ?

Thanks in advance for any .

It does limit the insert here.
Can you show use the CREATE TABLE syntax for both tables? (and does a key
with 0 exist in B, just to be sure?)

Thanks Rik,

It's something like that :

CREATE TABLE A( ID BIGINT(9) NOT NULL, linkOnTableBId BIGINT(9) NOT NULL,
.... );

ALTER TABLE interaction ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID);


This is very simple as it is generated by a Object - Relationnal Modelling
tools. The constraint for the relation is not managed in the database.
There is no attempt to create a B with id = 0.

The problem is that the default value for linkOnTableBId is 0 and I cannot
get rid of this.

This is never in a CREATE TABLE syntax.

This is the real one :

The main table is Interaction

SHOW CREATE TABLE interaction
CREATE TABLE `interaction` (
`audit_id` mediumint(9) default NULL,
`category` char(3) default NULL,
`ID` bigint(9) NOT NULL default '0',
`impact` char(1) default NULL,
`substance1Id` bigint(9) NOT NULL default '0',
`substance2Id` bigint(9) NOT NULL default '0',
`type` char(1) default NULL,
`pourcent` decimal(5,2) default NULL,
`Ki` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`Km` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`heriteAtcFromSubstance` varchar(5) default 'true',
`infoImportId` bigint(9) default NULL,
`impactValue` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
UNIQUE KEY `SUB1_SUB2_IDX`
(`substance1Id`,`substance2Id`,`category`,`type`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

You can see the 2 attributes used for a relation on table Substance

( `substance1Id` bigint(9) NOT NULL default '0',
`substance2Id` bigint(9) NOT NULL default '0',)

if at least one of theses attributes is null, I would like an exception ...

CREATE TABLE `substance` (
`AUC` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`Cmax` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`DCI` blob,
`Q0` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`TDemi` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`Vd` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`id` mediumint(9) NOT NULL default '0',
`biodisponibilite` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`category` char(3) NOT NULL default '',
`idEMediat` mediumint(9) default NULL,
`invisible` tinyint(1) default NULL,
`isomere` char(3) default NULL,
`VERROU` tinyint(1) default NULL,
`metabolite` tinyint(1) default NULL,
`metaboliteActif` tinyint(1) default NULL,
`nomLocal` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
`poidsMoleculaire` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`fu` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`ka` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`cl` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`CmaxSs` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`tauRefCmaxSs` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`doseRefCmax` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
`tempsRefAUC` decimal(15,5) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `nomSubstance` (`nomLocal`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

You are right, I tryed a more simple :

CREATE TABLE A( ID BIGINT(9) NOT NULL, linkOnTableBId BIGINT(9) NOT NULL);

ALTER TABLE A ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID);

and in this case, I cannot save with a null value for linkOnTableBId !
The problem is on the complete definition of my table

You have defined the fields with a default value of 0. So if the
fields are not supplied for the insert or the supplied values are
NULL, the default will be used.

You have no foreign key constraints (what makes you think you do?), and
further more foreign key constraints are not supported in the MyISAM
engine, you'll probably want to convert them to InnoDB.
