Force drop mysql bypassing foreign key constraint

Question

I\'m trying to delete all tables from a database except one, and I end up having the following error:

Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key

Answer 1

If you are using phpmyadmin then this feature is already there.

• Select the tables you want to drop
• From the dropdown at the bottom of tables list, select drop
• A new page will be opened having checkbox at the bottom saying "Foreign key check", uncheck it.
• Confirm the deletion by accepting "yes".
