如何在SQLite中默认启用外键级联删除?

更新时间:2023-02-03 08:25:12

System.Data.SQLite 1.0.66 doesn没有它,但在它的版本库中,它们已经更新到sqlite 3.7.4并且创建了一个新的连接字符串属性Foreign Keys。谁知道什么时候会正式发布?所以你可以在连接字符串中设置。该项目现在住在这里:

SQLite v3.7.5

Is there a way to enable SQLite Foreign Keys with cascade delete enabled by default? Given the following example:

CREATE TABLE [Parent] (
[ParentId] INTEGER  NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
[Name] VARCHAR(50)  UNIQUE NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE [Child] (
[ChildId] INTEGER  PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
[ParentId] INTEGER  NOT NULL,
[Name] VARCHAR(50)  NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY(ChildId) REFERENCES Child(ParentId) ON DELETE CASCADE
);

The only way I've been able to enable the cascade delete is to execute the PRAGMA foreign_keys = true command before a transaction:

using( var conn = new SQLiteConnection( _conn ) )
{
    conn.Open();
    var pragma = new SQLiteCommand( "PRAGMA foreign_keys = true;", conn );
    pragma.ExecuteNonQuery();

    var cmd = new SQLiteCommand( "Delete from Parent where ParentId = 1", conn );
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Is there a setting on the database level that can be configured rather than having to call the pragma command before each transaction?

I've seen the triggers to enable cascade deletes, but am looking for something that would simply enable the PRAGMA foreign_keys = true at the database level.

System.Data.SQLite 1.0.66 doesn't have it, but in the repository version of it, they have updated to sqlite 3.7.4 and have made a new connection string attribute "Foreign Keys". Who knows when this will be released officially? So you could set this in your connection string. The project lives here now: http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki
