REFERENCES syntax in CREATE TABLE

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      After all these years, sometimes I still see people who use the REFERENCES syntax to create foreign keys:

      col_name col_type REFERENCES tab_name (col_name)

      The problem is that they may think that a foreign key is created, until they realize that data is inconsistent.

      Please, consider producing a warning when this syntax is used. Or maybe support the syntax.
