Question

我在使用此表时遇到问题

CREATE TABLE `Participants` (
  `meetid` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `pid` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `status` char(1) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`meetid`,`pid`),
  CONSTRAINT `participants_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`meetid`) REFERENCES `Meetings` (`meetid`) ON DELETE CASCADE
  CONSTRAINT `participants_ibfk_2` CHECK (status IN ('a','d','u'))
  CONSTRAINT `participants_ibfk_3` CHECK (pid IN (SELECT name FROM Rooms) OR pid IN (SELECT userid FROM People))
);

我想要一个外键约束，这是有效的。然后我想为属性status添加一个约束，因此它只能取值'a'，'d'和'u'。我无法将字段设置为Enum或set。

有人能告诉我为什么这段代码在MySQL中不起作用吗？

Answer 1

MySQL不支持

CHECK约束。您可以定义它们，但它们什么都不做（从MySQL 5.7开始）。

来自manual：

CHECK子句被解析但被所有存储引擎忽略。

解决方法是创建triggers，但它们并不是最容易使用的。

如果您想要一个支持CHECK约束的开源RDBMS，请尝试PostgreSQL。它实际上是一个非常好的数据库。

Answer 2

我不明白为什么这里没有人提到查看选项可以替代MySQL中的 CHECK CONSTRAINT ：

CREATE VIEW name_of_view AS SELECT * FROM your_table
WHERE <condition> WITH [LOCAL | CASCADED] CHECK OPTION;

MySQL网站上有一个文档：The View WITH CHECK OPTION Clause

DROP TABLE `Participants`;

CREATE TABLE `Participants` (
  `meetid` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `pid` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `status` char(1) DEFAULT NULL check (status IN ('a','d','u')),
  PRIMARY KEY (`meetid`,`pid`)
);

-- should work
INSERT INTO `Participants` VALUES (1,1,'a');
-- should fail but doesn't because table check is not implemented in MySQL
INSERT INTO `Participants` VALUES (2,1,'x');

DROP VIEW vParticipants;
CREATE VIEW vParticipants AS 
  SELECT * FROM Participants WHERE status IN ('a','d','u')
  WITH CHECK OPTION;

-- should work
INSERT INTO vParticipants VALUES (3,1,'a');
-- will fail because view uses a WITH CHECK OPTION
INSERT INTO vParticipants VALUES (4,1,'x');

P.S。：请记住，您的视图应该是可更新的！见MySQL Updatable Views （感谢Romeo Sierra在评论中作出澄清）。

除了触发器之外，还有简单的约束，例如你所拥有的约束：

CONSTRAINT `participants_ibfk_2` 
  CHECK status IN ('a','d','u')

您可以使用Foreign Key中的status到参考表（ParticipantStatus包含3行：'a','d','u'）：

CONSTRAINT ParticipantStatus_Participant_fk
  FOREIGN KEY (status)
    REFERENCES ParticipantStatus(status)

正如我在this article中解释的那样，从8.0.16版本开始，MySQL添加了对CHECK约束的支持：

ALTER TABLE topic
ADD CONSTRAINT post_content_check
CHECK (
    CASE
        WHEN DTYPE = 'Post'
        THEN
            CASE
                WHEN content IS NOT NULL
                THEN 1
                ELSE 0
            END
        ELSE 1
    END = 1
);

ALTER TABLE topic
ADD CONSTRAINT announcement_validUntil_check
CHECK (
    CASE
        WHEN DTYPE = 'Announcement'
        THEN
            CASE
                WHEN validUntil IS NOT NULL
                THEN 1
                ELSE 0
            END
        ELSE 1
    END = 1
);

以前，仅在使用BEFORE INSERT和BEFORE UPDATE触发器时可用：

CREATE
TRIGGER post_content_check BEFORE INSERT
ON topic
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   IF NEW.DTYPE = 'Post'
   THEN
       IF NEW.content IS NULL
       THEN
           signal sqlstate '45000'
           set message_text = 'Post content cannot be NULL';
       END IF;
   END IF;
END;

CREATE
TRIGGER post_content_update_check BEFORE UPDATE
ON topic
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   IF NEW.DTYPE = 'Post'
   THEN
       IF NEW.content IS NULL
       THEN
           signal sqlstate '45000'
           set message_text = 'Post content cannot be NULL';
       END IF;
   END IF;
END;

CREATE
TRIGGER announcement_validUntil_check BEFORE INSERT
ON topic
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   IF NEW.DTYPE = 'Announcement'
   THEN
       IF NEW.validUntil IS NULL
       THEN
           signal sqlstate '45000'
           set message_text = 'Announcement validUntil cannot be NULL';
       END IF;
   END IF;
END;

CREATE
TRIGGER announcement_validUntil_update_check BEFORE UPDATE
ON topic
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   IF NEW.DTYPE = 'Announcement'
   THEN
       IF NEW.validUntil IS NULL
       THEN
           signal sqlstate '45000'
           set message_text = 'Announcement validUntil cannot be NULL';
       END IF;
   END IF;
END;

这是一种快速轻松地获得所需检查的方法：

drop database if exists gtest;

create database if not exists gtest;
use gtest;

create table users (
  user_id       integer unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
  username      varchar(32) not null default '',
  password      varchar(64) not null default '',
  unique key ix_username (username)
) Engine=InnoDB auto_increment 10001;

create table owners (
  owner_id      integer unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
  ownername     varchar(32) not null default '',
  unique key ix_ownername (ownername)
) Engine=InnoDB auto_increment 5001;

create table users_and_owners (
  id    integer unsigned not null primary key,
  name  varchar(32) not null default '',
  unique key ix_name(name)
) Engine=InnoDB;

create table p_status (
  a_status      char(1) not null primary key
) Engine=InnoDB;

create table people (
  person_id integer unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
  pid       integer unsigned not null,
  name      varchar(32) not null default '',
  status    char(1) not null,
  unique key ix_name (name),
  foreign key people_ibfk_001 (pid) references users_and_owners(id),
  foreign key people_ibfk_002 (status) references p_status (a_status)
) Engine=InnoDB;

create or replace view vw_users_and_owners as
select 
  user_id id,
  username name
from users
union
select 
  owner_id id,
  ownername name
from owners
order by id asc
;

create trigger newUser after insert on users for each row replace into users_and_owners select * from vw_users_and_owners;
create trigger newOwner after insert on owners for each row replace into users_and_owners select * from vw_users_and_owners;

insert into users ( username, password ) values
( 'fred Smith', password('fredSmith')),
( 'jack Sparrow', password('jackSparrow')),
( 'Jim Beam', password('JimBeam')),
( 'Ted Turner', password('TedTurner'))
;

insert into owners ( ownername ) values ( 'Tom Jones'),( 'Elvis Presley'),('Wally Lewis'),('Ted Turner');

insert into people (pid, name, status) values ( 5001, 'Tom Jones', 1),(10002,'jack Sparrow',1),(5002,'Elvis Presley',1);
