Description:
I want to disable foreign key references for InnoDB tables with command "set foreign_key_checks=0". Command doesn't work in Query Browser. Delete was not possible.

How to repeat:
Execute "set foreign_key_checks=0" and try to delete something from a parent table.

Hi,

Thank you for the report, but this is expected behavior.
MySQL Query Browser opens new connection each time it executes a query in the query window.
If you want to use SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, you can do it in a script.

This is a bit strange i think. What if you want to use an import-utility? I use Maestro myself. Now i cant import data from another database unless i drop all FK's and recreate them.
