刚在Mac OS X 10.6上安装了MySQL
5.5，并且在许多表上都有一个奇怪的问题。下面是一个例子。插入行失败，但不应插入外键约束。它引用的外键确实存在。有任何想法吗？

mysql> show create table Language;

更新 ：多次删除并重新创建数据库show engine innodb status后，我在上述插入失败后进行了操作，并得到了令人惊讶的结果。找不到父语言表！这似乎很奇怪…有什么想法吗？

But the parent table `dev`.`Language`

更新2 ：事实证明，这只是MySQL中的一个 巨大 错误。显然，最新版本的MySQL无法在mac os X
10.6下完全运行（也许也可以是早期版本？）。降级至5.5.8似乎可行。非常令人惊讶。
