Creating a foreign key relationship between two tables in a MySQL database using Python is a relatively straightforward process. The following example code will create a foreign key relationship between two tables, table1 and table2.
# Create foreign key
cursor.execute("ALTER TABLE table1 ADD FOREIGN KEY (column1) REFERENCES table2 (column2);")
This code will create a foreign key between the column1 of table1 and the column2 of table2.
The parts of this code are:
ALTER TABLE- This specifies that the command is to alter an existing table.table1- This is the name of the table that will have the foreign key created.ADD FOREIGN KEY- This specifies that the command is to add a foreign key.column1- This is the name of the column intable1that will be the foreign key.REFERENCES- This specifies that the foreign key is referencing another table.table2- This is the name of the table that will be referenced by the foreign key.column2- This is the name of the column intable2that will be referenced by the foreign key.
