Jump to PostJust to take note that there is no Foreign key in MySQL unless your database's type is InnoDB. I assume you are using MyISAM.
DELETE FROM Customer WHERE CustomerID = yourcustomerid;
DELETE FROM Records WHERE CusomerID = yourcustomerid;Hope it helps.
Jump to PostJust use it as if it was a foreign key!
A true foreign key would enable you to enforce relational integrity, but you can work with a database without it actually being enforced. You just carry out joins in the usual way and they work.
What you lose …

Hi Friends,
I also have read in many websites that we cannot create foreign key in MyISM type database or tables. But It is possible to create foreign key in MyISM type database or tables. Here I am submitting two tables and the relationship between them using foreign key concept. So do practice in your maching also.
Two tables
1. Country
2. State
SQL for Country:
Create Table Country(Id int(2) Primary Key Not Null Auto_Increment,
CName varchar(10))
SQL for State:
Create Table State (Id int(2) Primary Key Not Null Auto_Increment,SName varchar(10),cid int(2),foreign key (cid) references country(id))
Try, it is working successfully in my machine (laptop).
Cheers :)

A true foreign key would enable you to enforce relational integrity, but you can work with a database without it actually being enforced. You just carry out joins in the usual way and they work.
What you lose out on is not automatically getting a warning when there is an error such as no parent record for your foreign key eg foreignID should be 1023 and you entry 1032, for which no record exists in the other table. This would be accepted in MyISM but rejected in InnoDB.
