comment Two-sided UNIQUE INDEX for two columns
very interesting approach to solve the problem! Though I am not generally a fond of triggers; but it seems sometimes they are necessary ;)

comment Two-sided UNIQUE INDEX for two columns
@DaveMarkle You have a great nose ;) This is actually a normalized database of many-to-many relationship and this table is the map between two main tables.

This is the reason that I asked this question. I am looking for a trick to avoid 54,33 too; as UNIQUE INDEX cannot do this.

What you are referring to is about UNIQUE INDEX separately for each column. UNIQUE INDEX (col1, col2) make the combination unique.

comment Usefulness of Foreign Key WITHOUT reference option
Very helpful answer. But I believe ON DELETE is quite useful. For example, when deleting a post, comments are not necessary and should be deleted to. Here in stackexchange, when deleting a Questions, Answers should be deleted by ON DELETE.

comment Using Foreign Key and References for ON DELETE CASCADE in mysql
The missing type was typo in writing here. The types are all the same in parent, child1, and child2. Yes, I also think that I must use the secure syntax of child2; but still curious to know what the first one does not work ;)

comment Usage of RESTRICT or No ACTION in FOREIGN KEY Constraints
Some points are vague to me: 1. You mean that whether using RESTRICT or omitting it in column1 is the same? then this is optional? 2. You talked about orphan children. In the present case, there should be NO orphan, as ON DELETE CASCADE should guarantee deleting the child upon deleting the parent. Am I right?
