Using: yii 1.1.8, php 5.3.3, sqlite 3.7.9 on CentOS 5.7
I am using foreign keys with ON DELETE CASCADE to maintain my table integrity. Everything works OK for MySQL. Also, if I use the sqlite3 command line interface everything seems to work right. It is just when I use sqlite and do things in code that it doesn’t seem to work.
Here are the basic structures of 3 tables that I have: tbl_user, tbl_group, tbl_user_group
[sql]CREATE TABLE tbl_user (
id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
username VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
);
CREATE TABLE tbl_group (
id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
groupname VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
);
CREATE TABLE tbl_user_group (
user_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
group_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY(user_id) REFERENCES tbl_user(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY(group_id) REFERENCES tbl_group(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
[/sql]
Within config/main.php I have the database connection defined:
'db'=>array(
// SQLITE3 Settings
'connectionString' => 'sqlite:'.dirname(__FILE__).'/../data/dev.db',
'initSQLs'=>array(
'PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON',
),
),
I am using the activerecord class (CActiveRecord) for managing the tables. If I have a user record defined and a group record defined and I associate them with each other via the tbl_user_group table, when I delete a user then the associated record in the tbl_user_group should be automatically deleted because of the ON DELETE CASCADE.
This works for MySQL (as long as it is using the Innodb engine). If I use the sqlite3 command line interface and turn on foreign key support with:
PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;
and delete the user record from within the CLI then it also deletes the associated tbl_user_group record in sqlite. It just doesn’t do it with sqlite when I execute this code in UserController.php inside the actionDelete function:
$model = $this->loadModel($id);
$model->delete();
It seems like the ‘initSQLs’ is not working correctly to turn foreign key support on within sqlite. Has anyone gotten this type of thing to work?
