Hi,
I [think I] found a bug, and tried to send a report to pgsql-bugs and it
never showed up there.
The *very brief* version:
I have a hierarchy of tables using Postgres's inheritance feature. In the
root table I have a serial type which is a primary key. Another table (not
in the hierarchy) has a foreign key to the primary key of the top table in
the hierarchy.
When I insert a record with a foreign key that references an object in a
descendent table, I get a referential integrity error. But when it
references an item that is simply a member of the top class, no problem - the
foreign key works then.
If I select * from the top class, both records show up, along with their id
primary key. So why can't a foreign key refer to the one that is a member of
a subclass?
I'm using 7.1.2
Thanks,
Micah
