Does MySQL allow >relacionl functions between tables recognizing "foreign keys"? > Excuse me for asking a so simple question, If you are trying to determine whether MySQL is a relational database, the answer is yes. If you are trying to determine whether MySQL supports foreign keys, the answer is yes: Use table type InnoDB to get enforcement of foreign key constraints in MySQL. If you are trying to determine whether MySQL has a c api equivalent to Oracle's OCI (sometimes called relational functions), the answer is yes. See the manual (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/index.html). If you need particular relational functions found in some other database's interface, you may want to check the relevant parts of MySQL's documentation. MySQL is not the same as Oracle -- it is its own full-featured, powerful relational database system. -bluejack -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
