MysqL> update country set country_id=100 where country_id=1;
ERROR 1451 (23000): Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`test/city`, CONSTRAINT `city_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`country_id`) REFERENCES `country` (`country_id`))
上面的问题是说因为有关联的存在，所以无法改变country_id这个字段。
然后自己又重新看了下书本，发现自己的sql语句中没有innodb的外键约束方式（cascade,set null,no action,restrict），感觉这就是自己出问题的地方。
可是怎么加入关联方式呢，上网找了好半天也没有合适的方法。就自己找呗，就通过老师说的方法，？help一点儿一点儿终于找到了怎么改变的方法，文档功能很强大啊
| ADD {INDEX|KEY} [index_name] [index_type] (index_col_name,...)
| ADD [CONSTRAINT [symbol]]
PRIMARY KEY [index_type] (index_col_name,...)
| ADD [CONSTRAINT [symbol]]
UNIQUE [INDEX|KEY] [index_name] [index_type] (index_col_name,...)
写了后又是一大堆的错误，无从下手啊
MysqL> alter table city add CONSTRAINT `city_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`country_id`) REFERENCES `country` (`country_id`) ON UPDATE CASCADE;
ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table '.\test\#sql-ed0_37.frm' (errno: 121)
