Verify that MySQL SET FOREIGN KEY CHECKS is set to = 1?

You can verify SET FOREIGN KEY CHECKS is set to = 1 or not with the help of variable

@@foreign_key_checks;

The syntax is as follows −

select @@foreign_key_checks;

You can use SHOW VARIABLES command. The syntax is as follows −

show variables like 'foreign%';

Now you can implement both the syntaxes.

Case 1 − Using variable @@foreign_key_checks.

The query is as follows −

mysql> SELECT @@foreign_key_checks;

Here is the output −

+----------------------+
| @@foreign_key_checks |
+----------------------+
| 1                    |
+----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Case 2 − Using SHOW command

The query is as follows −

mysql> show variables like 'foreign%';

The following is the output −

+--------------------+-------+
| Variable_name      | Value |
+--------------------+-------+
| foreign_key_checks | ON    |
+--------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
