Ignore inline REFERENCES clauses during CREATE TABLE to match MySQL - #595
MySQL parses but ignores inline REFERENCES specifications where references are defined as part of a column specification (e.g. col INT REFERENCES tbl (col)), evaluating referential constraints only when declared as a separate, table-level FOREIGN KEY specification.
Previously, create_table() in WP_SQLite_Information_Schema_Builder extracted inline column references into information_schema.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS, KEY_COLUMN_USAGE, and TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. When synthesizing the SQLite table, this caused the driver to emit an enforced SQLite FOREIGN KEY clause, causing valid inserts that succeed in MySQL to fail with FOREIGN KEY constraint failed.
This PR:
Ignores inline REFERENCES clauses in column definitions during CREATE TABLE and avoids recording foreign key metadata in information_schema (TABLE_CONSTRAINTS, REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS, KEY_COLUMN_USAGE).
Restricts foreign key constraint metadata and generated constraint naming (ibfk) strictly to tableConstraintDef nodes, ensuring consistency across both single-column and parenthesized ALTER TABLE ADD forms.
Preserves full support and enforcement for explicit table-level FOREIGN KEY (...) REFERENCES ... (...) constraints.
Updates information schema tests and adds regression test coverage in WP_MySQL_On_SQLite_Tests verifying the accepted insert and absent foreign-key metadata alongside an explicit foreign-key constraint that still rejects the insert.
Testing instructions
Run unit tests in packages/mysql-on-sqlite:
cd packages/mysql-on-sqlite
composer run test -- --filter testInlineReferencesIgnored
composer run test -- --filter testInformationSchema
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Inline column-level REFERENCES clauses no longer create foreign-key metadata or enforce foreign-key checks, so inserts with unmatched reference values can succeed.
SHOW CREATE TABLE no longer displays generated foreign-key clauses for inline column references.
Explicit table-level FOREIGN KEY constraints continue to appear in metadata and reject inserts with unmatched values.

Walkthrough
Inline column REFERENCES clauses no longer create foreign-key metadata or enforcement. Explicit table-level foreign keys continue to create metadata and reject inserts with unmatched values.

Summary
Restrict foreign-key processing to table constraints packages/mysql-on-sqlite/src/sqlite/class-wp-sqlite-information-schema-builder.php
Foreign-key metadata extraction, generated names, and constraint classification now apply only to table-level constraints.
Verify inline and table-level behavior packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/WP_MySQL_On_SQLite_Tests.php, packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/WP_MySQL_On_SQLite_Metadata_Tests.php
Tests cover inline REFERENCES clauses in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE ADD forms. They expect no foreign-key metadata or enforcement for inline clauses, and retain coverage for table-level foreign keys.
The implementation matches the requested MySQL-compatible behavior, with no concrete merge-blocking risk identified.

Explanation
[#564] The builder now processes referential metadata only when rule_name is tableConstraintDef. Inline column REFERENCES clauses therefore produce no TABLE_CONSTRAINTS, REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS, or foreign-key KEY_COLUMN_USAGE rows. The same gate applies to generated ibfk names and the FOREIGN KEY constraint type. The added testInlineReferencesIgnored test covers CREATE TABLE, both ALTER TABLE ADD forms, accepted unmatched inserts, and absent metadata. The test also verifies that an explicit table-level FOREIGN KEY remains enforced and produces metadata. No test execution result is provided.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
All changed production code implements [#564] by excluding inline references from foreign-key metadata and generated constraints while retaining table-level foreign-key handling. The metadata fixture updates remove obsolete inline-reference expectations and retain explicit table-level foreign-key coverage. The added integration test directly covers the issue requirements. No unrelated change is evident in the reviewed diff.

Assert all three metadata tables for both ALTER TABLE ADD forms.
The single-column form does not assert TABLE_CONSTRAINTS or KEY_COLUMN_USAGE. The parenthesized form does not assert KEY_COLUMN_USAGE. A regression that creates either metadata row while leaving REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS empty can pass this test. The other metadata tests cover inline references only for CREATE TABLE; their ALTER coverage uses explicit table-level foreign keys.
