Foreign key in Sqlite database (digikam4.db)

[Nikhil Agarwal]

Dear Developers

I was inspecting `digikam4.db`, but I could not find foreign key in and of the tables in the Sqlite database (digikam4.db). I was wondering if that's how it was intended?

Thanks 🙂

Yes, that's right, the SQLite DB does not use foreign keys. digiKam's core database schema was created at a time when SQLite did not yet support foreign keys. In the future, if major changes to the database schema are necessary, we will certainly think about using foreign keys as well.
