MySQL doesn't have relations at all, unless you put the InnoDB module,
which stamps down performance.

An example I tried to do on a MySQL without InnoDB was:

CREATE TABLE testing (
id INT,
word VARCHAR(20) REFERENCES other_table("word")
);

(knowing that other_table exists (I prefiously created it) and has word as
a VARCHAR(20) field).

An error is what I got.

Porqué usar una base de datos relacional cualquiera,
si podés usar PostgreSQL?
