FOREIGNKEYNAME

string

The name of the foreign key constraint. If you create a foreign key constraint without specifying a name for it then NuoDB SQL automatically generates a name in the following format:

FK_schema_tablename_columns#referenced-table-schema_referenced-tablename_referenced-columns

where:

  • schema is the name of the schema for the table with this foreign key constraint

  • tablename is the name of the table with this foreign key constraint

  • columns is one or more columns, separated by underscores, that define this foreign key constraint

  • referenced-table-schema is the name of the schema for the table being refereced by this foreign key constraint

  • referenced-tablename is the name of the table being referenced by this foreign key constraint

  • referenced-columns is one or more columns, separated by underscores, that defines the columns being referenced by this foreign key constraint

The column has a default value of "FKDefault"
