Language reference: wrong description of RDB$INDICES.RDB$FOREIGN_KEY field #191

Closed aafemt closed 11 months ago

aafemt commented 11 months ago

This is not the constraint's name but name of index on master table this key is referencing to.

The InterBase 6.0 Language Reference also documents it as "Name of FOREIGN KEY constraint for which the index is implemented". IIRC, historically, the index was named the same as the foreign key constraint.

I see you're right, so this has been documented incorrectly for a long time... I'll update fblangref25 - fblangref50.

mrotteveel commented 11 months ago

Fixed in fblangref25 - fblangref50, published fblangref25 - fblangref40.

Thanks for reporting.
