Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] foreign key on external database

Isart Montane a écrit :

Hi all,

For a personal project I need to create foreign keys between different databases. I've realised that phpmyadmin only allows foreign keys on the same db so I'm thinking on develop this feature.

I know it's not a very good practice to create foreign keys on different databases... but I need it anyway...

Any comments or guidelines to do it?

Thanks, Isart

Hi Isart, good initiative! Are you thinking of implementing this in Relation View or the Designer page or both?

On Relation View, we could think of a database drop-down, even if this can pose a problem with too many databases -- but we already have this problem at other places where we have such drop-down.
