Urm, where does it do that - my 4.1 server says
CONSTRAINT `login_properties_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`prop_login_id`)
REFERENCES `login_master` (`login_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT `login_properties_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`ref_prop_name`)
REFERENCES `login_properties_master` (`prop_name`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON
UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Properties for a login'
nothing in the comment field about key constraints - or is that new in 5?
