MySQL Workbench's treatment of foreign keys

Question

How do I force MySQL Workbench, when using a foreign key, to perform an INSERT to my referenced table before the INSERT to the referencing table. Without the obvious solution of editing the generated SQL by hand?

Answer 1

William,

Unfortunately, MySQL workbench doesn't work this way. You'd have to write the SQL yourself to do this. If you need this often, you might think about writing a stored procedure that handles this for you.
