RE: [PHP-DB] Please help - Managing relational tables using PHP
You need to realize that phpMyAdmin is a database manangement tool, not a database. So I'll answer your questions based on the mySQL database ... 1. MySQL 3.23.43b introduced a table type of InnoDB which is the first to allow foreign key constraints. http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SEC448.html ... However, you do not need to enforce constraints to have a relationship. I just assume that's what you're getting at. 2. Yes, if you enforce constraints with the CASCADE option it will. ..see same document: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SEC448.html ... Now the catch, my version of phpMyAdmin 2.3.0 does not allow me to choose the table type of InnoDB, even though my database is version 3.23.54. So I assume phpMyAdmin does not allow one to manage these attributes. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

RE: [PHP-DB] Please help - Managing relational tables using PHP
Dear Mr. Ryan, May be I did not present my question clearly to you. My question in detail is ... -- Does phpMyAdmin supports / allow / interface, editing data from one to many or ,many to many related tables, using a single phpMyAdmin interface( a single HTML page) I have a (primary) table and one of its fields(category) has one or many values , all these values are also listed in another(secondary) table. I would like to know if phpMyAdmin provides any interface such that those values from the secondary table appears(listed) (for example : as a Form) in the field of the primary table. PrimaryTable(X,Y,category,Z) pk:X SecondaryTable(category)pk:category I am not intending to enforce referential integrity. My question is just about the interfacing. Thank you, Phani.

Well, you can use the SQL tab to write a sql statement to do whatever you want, but no, the graphical interface doesn't appear to do that.
