Instance Method Details

#add_foreign_key(from_table, to_table, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Adds a new foreign key to the from_table, referencing the primary key of to_table

The foreign key will be named after the from and to tables unless you pass :name as an option.

Examples
Creating a foreign key
add_foreign_key(:comments, :posts)

generates

ALTER TABLE `comments` ADD CONSTRAINT
   `comments_post_id_fk` FOREIGN KEY (`post_id`) REFERENCES `posts` (`id`)
Creating a named foreign key
add_foreign_key(:comments, :posts, :name => 'comments_belongs_to_posts')

generates

ALTER TABLE `comments` ADD CONSTRAINT
   `comments_belongs_to_posts` FOREIGN KEY (`post_id`) REFERENCES `posts` (`id`)
Creating a cascading foreign_key on a custom column
add_foreign_key(:people, :people, :column => 'best_friend_id', :dependent => :nullify)

generates

ALTER TABLE `people` ADD CONSTRAINT
   `people_best_friend_id_fk` FOREIGN KEY (`best_friend_id`) REFERENCES `people` (`id`)
   ON DELETE SET NULL

Supported options

:column

Specify the column name on the from_table that references the to_table. By default this is guessed to be the singular name of the to_table with “_id” suffixed. So a to_table of :posts will use “post_id” as the default :column.

:primary_key

Specify the column name on the to_table that is referenced by this foreign key. By default this is assumed to be “id”.

:name

Specify the name of the foreign key constraint. This defaults to use from_table and foreign key column.

:dependent

If set to :delete, the associated records in from_table are deleted when records in to_table table are deleted. If set to :nullify, the foreign key column is set to NULL.

:options

Any extra options you want appended to the foreign key definition.
