how do I make message_id a foreign key so that it's one-to-many between comments and messages? (One message can have many comments.)

I'm using the MySql query browser and see:
While I can enter SQL either from the query browser or command line, I'm not very familiar with it. I would prefer to use the GUI query browser, if possible, for this.
Should do the trick:
ALTER TABLE comments ADD FOREIGN KEY (message_id) REFERENCES messages(id);
As one could tell from reading the MySQL documentation .
