Automatically inserting foreign keys

  • Hi, i have to build a database for my university coursework, i have 5 tables and 1 of them has 2 foreign keys connecting to 2 other tables. I have it set out sort of like this,

    Table 1(
    Primary Key#1
    );
    Table 2(
    Primary Key#2
    );
    Table 3(
    Foreign Key#1
    Foreign Key#2
    );
    Is there any way to make it so inputting a key into both primary keys in table 1 and 2 will automatically input the same key into the table 3 foreign keys?

    My actual code if needed is below;

    CREATING THE TABLES
    SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
    CREATE TABLE Suspect(
    SuspectID int auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,

    );

  • You could probably do it with a trigger, though will have to be complex and on both tables, and I don't know how you plan to have it automatically figure out which key goes with which key.

  • I don't think that you want to do this in general.  I could see doing this as part of an application, but the application would probably feed the information into a stored procedure which would handle all of the inserts.
