last time i checked, MySQL didn't do referential integrity. it did accept
some syntax for describing foreign keys, but treated it as a no-op. this
could be different in MySQL 4.x, i haven't looked into it. i rarely need to
work with MySQL, most of my clients who want me to do database stuff are
using PostgreSQL.
