The purpose of a foreign key is to help protect your data relationships, like preventing the deletion or change any primary key value that is referenced.
Since a temporary table is not a permanent relationship to live data, it is unnecessary and probably unwise to do what you attempted. A simple index on that column is all you need in this case.

I am using the following code: ALTER TABLE `TSUBEA` ADD FOREIGN KEY + (`CaseManager` ) REFERENCES `Security` I am receiving an error message that the referenced table doesn't exist. Do you have to do something special when trying to add a foreign key to a temp table? Thank you, Jennifer From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Goldberg Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 2:58 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Sub-Reports Question I just did a report with a dummy master table and six tables as sub-reports. None of the columns had a relationship to each other. I had to have a linking table between the master table and the slave tables. Since I was creating temp tables, I just used a bogus column in all the tables and put a value in it to link them. Without the linking column it does not work. When I created the temp table I made sure that no table had a linking column to each other or the master except the bogus column.

My slave tables are actually temporary views that are created before the report generates. I am only able to get one sub-report to display. I am using the child option, and I have them shifting relative to the report in front of it. Currently all the reports are in the detail band of my main report. I have tried moving them each to a band of their own and then making them section reports and that didn't work either. Is there some sort of settings - like with the forms - where you can set your table settings, such as one to one or one to many? For a report, does the slave tables have to have a column in common with the main table for items to display? Thank you for any help.
