在 MySQL 中从多对多关系中删除

Question

我不是 MySQL 专业人士，我只是想制作简单的 Java 应用程序，它可以访问 MySQL 数据库（例如著名的书籍/作者数据库）并对其进行操作（即添加、更新、删除）。

问题是当我尝试使用删除时，有两个表具有多对多关系（例如作者表和书籍表）

DELETE FROM tableName WHERE someColumnName = 'someValue'

它抛出 MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException 消息“无法删除或更新父行：外键约束失败”

我知道这是因为“多对多”关系，但实际上我不知道该怎么做，因为我不是 MySQL 专业人士。任何帮助将不胜感激。谢谢。

这可能是因为您将CONSTRAINT onUpdate 和onDelete 设置为RESTRICT。改成SET NULL就可以删除了。

请参阅 MySQL 文档中的 this section。

除了SET NULL，你也可以试试NO ACTION选项。

IE：

FOREIGN KEY(ord_no,book_id) REFERENCES neworder(ord_no,book_id)  
ON UPDATE SET NULL ON DELETE SET NULL

或

FOREIGN KEY(ord_no,book_id) REFERENCES neworder(ord_no,book_id)  
ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION

希望对你有帮助。
