Hi Robert
You didn't read the manual :)
It says:
7.6 CREATE TABLE syntax
...
* The FOREIGN KEY, CHECK and REFERENCES clauses don't actually do anything. The syntax for
them is provided only for compatibility, to make it easier to port code from other SQL
servers and to run applications that create tables with references. See
section 5.3 Functionality missing from MySQL.
