Re: view triggers/procedures - Mailing list pgsql-general

Raju,

The file with the source code is:
/pgsql_sources_directory(replace_this)/src/backend/utils/adt/ri_triggers.c

But you can trust that those triggers are not doing anything else then
checking/enforcing the foreign keys you have defined on that
table/referencing that table.
So you might want instead to check what foreign keys are defined...
You can figure them out from the parameters of the trigger functions,
e.g.:
RI_FKey_noaction_del"('<unnamed>', 'documents', 'reviews',
'UNSPECIFIED', 'review_id', 'review_id')
should mean you have a foreign key pointing from the documents table
review_id field to the reviews table review_id field.
I'm not sure if the parent/child is not the other way around, but you
will surely figure out from your schema.

HTH,
Csaba.
