</div>
|
|
|
|
- Select the table you want to query and the operation from the dropdown, then enter the required parameters for the selected operation. Click on the **Run** button to execute the query.<br/>
|
|
The selected operation should adhere to the column constraints of the selected table.

### Modifying Tables with Foreign Key Constraints
|
|
|
|
When you are creating, updating, or deleting records in a table that has a foreign key constraint, you need to ensure that the foreign key constraint is not violated.
|
|
- If you are trying to create/update a new row in the source table, you need to ensure that the foreign key value exists in the target table. Otherwise, the operation will fail with an error message.
|
|
|
|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
<img style={{ border:'0', marginBottom:'15px', borderRadius:'5px', boxShadow: '0px 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)' }} className="screenshot-full" src="/img/v2-beta/database/ux2/violate-fk.gif" alt="ToolJet database"/>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
- Similarly, if you are trying to delete a row in the target table, you need to ensure that the foreign key value is not being referenced in the source table.

### Join Tables
|
|
|
|
You can join two or more tables in the ToolJet database by using the **Join** operation.
|
|
|
|
#### Required Parameters
|
|
- **From**: In the From section, the following parameters are available:
|
|
- **Selected Table**: Select the table from which you want to join the other table.
|
|
- **Type of Join**: Select the type of join you want to perform. The available options are: `Inner Join`, `Left Join`, `Right Join`, and `Full Outer Join`.
|
|
- **Joining Table**: Select the table that you want to join with the selected table. If the selected table has a foreign key relationship(s) with other tables, those tables will be listed with a foreign key icon next to their name.
|
|
- **On**: Select the column from the **selected table** and the **joining table** on which you want to join the tables. Currently, only `=` operation is supported for joining tables.
