 Good. Here is a script for psql that creates database:

create database example;

\connect example

---------------------------
create table empresa (
    cod        serial primary key,
    descripcion    text
);

---------------------------
create table procedencia (
    cod        serial primary key,
    descripcion    text
);

---------------------------
create table calle (
    cod        serial primary key,
    nombre        text,
    v�a            text
);

---------------------------
create table provincia (
    cod        serial primary key,
    nombre        text
);

---------------------------
create table localidad (
    cod        serial primary key,
    nombre        text
);

---------------------------
create table l�nea (
    cod        serial primary key,
    nombre        text
);

---------------------------
create table forma_pago (
    cod        serial primary key,
    descripcion    text
);


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------
create table aviso (
    n�mero        serial primary key,
    fecha        timestamp default now(),
    procedencia    int2 references procedencia,
    l�nea        int2 references l�nea,
    empresa        int2 references empresa,
    urgente        bool    default 'f',
    externo        bool    default 'f',
    aceptado    bool,            -- El valor nulo implica 'pendiente'
    tmr        bool    default 'f',    -- Trabajo Mal Realizado
    detalle        text
);
create index avi_fecha_ndx on aviso (fecha);
create index avi_procedencia_ndx on aviso (procedencia);
create index avi_linea_ndx on aviso (l�nea);
create index avi_empresa_ndx on aviso (empresa);
create index avi_urgente_ndx on aviso (urgente);
create index avi_aceptado_ndx on aviso (aceptado);
create index avi_tmr_ndx on aviso (tmr);
create index avi_externo_ndx on aviso (externo);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 With this, you only have to insert values in "procedencia", "l�nea" and
 "empresa" to satisfy referencial integrity and make experiment proposed in
 the other message with two psql:

 # insert into aviso(procedencia,l�nea,empresa,detalle) values
   (1,1,1,'Example');

 Greets.
