Re: Table Inheritence and Partioning - Mailing list pgsql-performance

Currently foreign keys don't work that way. You will need your data to be in
table persons if you want the foreign key to work correctly. Otherwise you
could create your own trigger to ensure the foreign key restriction you need.

I'm no expert at all and it seems there are non trivial issues that have to be
solved in order to make foreign keys behave in the way you'd expect.
