You can use this stored procedure to check the all database for invalid foreign keys.
The result will be loaded into INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS
table.
Parameters of ANALYZE_INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS
:
- Database name pattern (LIKE style)
- Table name pattern (LIKE style)
-
Whether the result will be temporary. It can be:
'Y'
,'N'
,NULL
.- In case of
'Y'
theANALYZE_INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS
result table will be temporary table. The temporary table won't be visible for other sessions. You can execute multipleANALYZE_INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS(...)
stored procedure parallelly with temporary result table. - But if you are interested in the partial result from an other session, then you must use
'N'
, then executeSELECT * FROM INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS;
from an other session. -
You must use
NULL
to skip result table creation in transaction, because MySQL executes implicit commit in transaction forCREATE TABLE ...
andDROP TABLE ...
, so the creation of result table would cause problem in transaction. In this case you must create the result table yourself out ofBEGIN; COMMIT/ROLLBACK;
block:CREATE TABLE INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS( `TABLE_SCHEMA` VARCHAR(64), `TABLE_NAME` VARCHAR(64), `COLUMN_NAME` VARCHAR(64), `CONSTRAINT_NAME` VARCHAR(64), `REFERENCED_TABLE_SCHEMA` VARCHAR(64), `REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME` VARCHAR(64), `REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME` VARCHAR(64), `INVALID_KEY_COUNT` INT, `INVALID_KEY_SQL` VARCHAR(1024) );
Visit MySQL site about implicit commit: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/implicit-commit.html
- In case of
The INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS
rows will contain only the name of invalid database, table, column. But you can see the invalid referring rows with the execution of value of INVALID_KEY_SQL
column of INVALID_FOREIGN_KEYS
if there is any.
This stored procedure will be very fast if there are indexes on the referring columns (aka. foreign index) and on the referred columns (usually primary key).
Thanks for this great answer - this is a very handy tool. Here is a slightly modified version of the procedure that includes SQL in the output table to delete keys with invalid keys - handy for the cases where you have confirmed that these rows are simply orphans from missing/disabled delete cascade rules (and not orphans from primary key changes or other more complex cases).
