Question

Lets see this schema:

  orders:
    _attributes:    { phpName: Orders, default_table_charset: utf8, default_table_collate: utf8_general_ci }
    id:             ~
    category_id:    { type: integer, size: '10', required: true, defaultvalue: '0', foreigntable: categories, foreignreference: id }
    whatisthis:     { type: longvarchar, required: false }

  categories:
    _attributes: { phpName: Categories }
    id:          ~
    name:        { type: varchar, size: '255', required: true, defaultvalue: '' }
    _uniques:    { index_name: [name] }

I figured out that the foreign keys are not defined in my tables. Im using innoDB so PKs are possible. Or Propel isnt supposed to set foreign keys?

Answer 1

The “foreingtable” and “foreignreference” should be camel cased. And the category_id’ size should be equal with the categories’s id’s size.

  orders:
    _attributes:    { phpName: Orders, default_table_charset: utf8, default_table_collate: utf8_general_ci }
    id:             ~
    category_id:    { type: integer, size: '10', required: true, defaultvalue: '0', foreignTable: categories, foreignreRerence: id }
    whatisthis:     { type: longvarchar, required: false }

  categories:
    _attributes: { phpName: Categories }
    id:          ~
    name:        { type: varchar, size: '255', required: true, defaultvalue: '' }
    _uniques:    { index_name: [name] }
