I've renamed your issue for clarity.
And I add syntax HL on the code :)
I had some time today to think about it. By changing the regex and a few lines, it could work. But...
I've realized the problem is much deeper: First, $foreignTable->getSchema() returns nothing even for tables within the same schema. Then, $database->getTable($ftbl, true); returns nothing for a foreign table from a different schema.
I really can't find any information about reverse engineering across multiple databases/schemas.
That's really an issue for me: I have a big set of 5 databases including between 20 and 60 tables, and some are connected. In MySQL, foreign keys between different schemas are allowed and work perfectly. And I'm losing them with Propel...
Are there any updates on this issue? Should we expect this to be implemented?
In propel 1 no, but if someone send a pull request on Propel2 maybe,
I have two databases and some tables have foreign keys across the two databases. From what I've read, I thought I could generate a schema.xml referencing foreign keys from a different database, but I couldn't make it work.
Here's the SQL code for the creation one one table with an external foreign key (I've kept only major columns):
Reading the
MysqlSchemaParser.php
, I've noticed that the regexworks perfectly for tables within the same schema but excludes a reference to an external table.
I tried to find discussions about that, unsuccessfully.
I'd be glad to have an explanation about that, because I might have misunderstood something.
