Hi Juan, Since there is nothing in help to indicate that a temporary table cannot have a foreign key and since the error message "-ERROR- The referenced table does not exist. (2801)" appears to be incorrect, should this not be reported as a bug?

While this might require more frequent PACKing, might this work for you?

I think the same. An opportunity to improve, because temporary table is very usefully to enter data using a form. Thanks.

I just fired up 9.5 and created a temp table and then an FK on it and I got an error. I fired up an old copy of 6.5 and it doesn't work there either, so I assume this has never worked.

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tdexpara_cambios (momento DATETIME, codpais INT NOT NULL+ ('ESPECIFIQUE A QUE PAIS CORRESPONDE'), material_anterior INT NOT NULL + ('INGRESE CODIGO DE MATERIAL ANTERIOR'), material_actual INT NOT NULL + ('INGRESE CODIGO DE MATERIAL ACTUAL'), artdes_anterior TEXT 40, + artdes_actual TEXT 40, PRIMARY KEY (codpais, material_anterior) + ('MATERIAL ANTERIOR DUPLICADO EN LA LISTA'), CHECK (material_actual <> + material_anterior)) ALTER TABLE tdexpara_cambios ADD FOREIGN KEY (material_actual) REFERENCES + sap_material All the PK and Rules definition works in temporary table except the FK. (At least for me). This could be a issue?

But you can create the temp table first and then use the alter command to add the FK afterwards. See if that works. Here's an example: ALTER TABLE mpsinvoice ADD FOREIGN KEY (vendornum) REFERENCES vendors Karen -----Original Message----- From: Juan Otazú <[email protected]> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Feb 14, 2013 1:05 pm Subject: [RBASE-L] - Create FK in temporary table Hi to all, I need to create a temporary table to enter data into a form and validate some PK, FK rules. This command work fine: CREATE TABLE tdexpara_cambios (momento DATETIME, codpais INT NOT NULL + ('ESPECIFIQUE A QUE PAIS CORRESPONDE'), material_anterior INT NOT NULL + ('INGRESE CODIGO DE MATERIAL ANTERIOR'), material_actual INT NOT NULL + ('INGRESE CODIGO DE MATERIAL ACTUAL'), artdes_anterior TEXT 40, + artdes_actual TEXT 40, PRIMARY KEY (codpais, material_anterior) + ('MATERIAL ANTERIOR DUPLICADO EN LA LISTA'), FOREIGN KEY + (material_anterior) REFERENCES sap_material + ('MATERIAL ANTERIOR NO EXISTE EN SAP'), FOREIGN KEY (material_actual) + REFERENCES sap_material ('MATERIAL ACTUAL NO EXISTE EN SAP'), CHECK + (material_actual <> material_anterior)) It is a regular table.

(2801) Do not create the temporary table. The only one change has been add "temporary" to line 1. Some issues to connect temporary FK to regular PK ? Thanks in advance.
