sql foreign key

# A foreign key is essentially a reference to a primary
# key in another table.

# A Simple table of Users, 
CREATE TABLE users(
	userId INT NOT NULL,
  	username VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
  	passwd VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
  	PRIMARY KEY(userId);
);
# Lets add a LEGIT user!
INSERT INTO users VALUES(1000,"Terry","Teabagface$2");

# We will create an order table that holds a reference
# to an order made by our Terry
CREATE TABLE orders(
	orderId INT NOT NULL,
  	orderDescription VARCHAR(255),
  	ordererId INT NOT NULL,
  	PRIMARY KEY(orderId),
  	FOREIGN KEY (ordererId) REFERENCES users(userId)
);
# Now we can add an order from Terry
INSERT INTO orders VALUES(0001,"Goat p0rn Weekly",1000);

foreign key

An index on a table is a data structure that makes random access to the rows 
fast and efficient. It helps to optimize the internal organization of a table 
as well.

A foreign key is simply a pointer to a corresponding column in another table 
that forms a referential constraint between the two tables.
