Hi thanks for reply

After Delete :

select * from tbparent;
+-------+-------+
| colp1 | colp2 |
+-------+-------+
| a | 1 |
+-------+-------+

select* from tbchild;
+--------+--------+--------+
| colch1 | colch2 | colch3 |
+--------+--------+--------+
| 100 | a | abc |
+--------+--------+--------+

so, 'a' is still there in tbparent , this why i didn't understood mysql error message.

And you're right, in this exemple, the foreign keys does not reference a unique key.


But there was no MySQL error when I create this FK and I can use it in another SGBDR (I've forgot R in last post)

So why Mysql allow me to create a foreign key that it can't manage ???

If MySQL does not allow this, It would not allow this type of creation.
