In my db I have a table type_of_action, fields code varchar, name
varchar, medical boolean. Two other tables refer to this table, one of
them to the medical rows, the other one to the none-medical rows. I
would like to make the reference with a view, like this:
create table type of action_type (
code varchar,
name varchar,
medical boolean
);
create view action_type_medical as select * from action_type
where medical=true;
create view action_type_non_medical as select * from action_type
where medical=false;
create table general_actions (
field1, field2, field_etc,
action_type varchar references action_type_non_medical(code)
);
create table medical_actions (
field1, field2, field_etc,
action_type varchar references action_type_medical(code)
);
But pg refuses this, can't create a reference to a view. I can now
create a trigger plus function that will do the check, but is there a
more elegant way? Thanks!
