查询:

ALTER TABLE `phppos_permissions_actions` CHANGE `module_id` `module_id` VARCHAR(100) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, CHANGE `action_id` `action_id` VARCHAR(100) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL

错误:

#1832 - Cannot change column 'module_id': used in a foreign key constraint 'phppos_permissions_actions_ibfk_1'

(在mysql 5.5中没有错误)

我可以让它工作的唯一方法是:

SET foreign_key_checks = 0;

5.6中有什么变化？这是一个错误吗？

Answer 1

这显然是MySQL 5.6的一个改进,虽然实现看起来有点过于严格.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/alter-table.html说:

从5.6.7开始,服务器禁止更改外键列,否则可能导致参照完整性丢失.解决方法是在更改列定义之前使用ALTER TABLE ... DROP FOREIGN KEY,然后使用ALTER TABLE ... ADD FOREIGN KEY.

发行说明说这与http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=46599有关

那没关系......

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/create-table-foreign-keys.html说:

外键和引用键中的相应列必须具有相似的数据类型.整数类型的大小和符号必须相同.字符串类型的长度不必相同.对于非二进制(字符)字符串列,字符集和排序规则必须相同.

你的评论:

这并不是一个矛盾.您仍然可以使用不同的字符串长度在MySQL 5.6中创建外键.

create table foo ( p varchar(20) primary key );
create table bar ( f varchar(10), foreign key (f) references foo (p) );

只要没有截断数据的可能性,您就可以修改列.

alter table bar modify column f varchar(20); /* increasing string length */
Query OK

但是,如果列可能会丢失数据,则无法对其进行修改.

alter table bar modify column f varchar(5); /* decreasing string length */
ERROR 1832 (HY000): Cannot change column 'f': 
used in a foreign key constraint 'bar_ibfk_1'

正如您所发现的那样,您可以使用foreign_check_checks=0或通过使用ALTER TABLE删除约束来禁用外键检查,然后在修改列后重新创建约束.
