1. When deleting a table in MySQL, an error occurs: 1217 – Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraaint fail. See Figure 1.

2. Reference: You can obtain information about foreign keys from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE table. It shows an example query against that table here. See Figure 2.

3. The query results contain all foreign key information for the current connection. Locate the corresponding database, table, and field. See Figure 3.

4. First delete the tables corresponding to the TABLE_NAME column in the query results, and then delete this table. Deletion is successful.
