In response to foreign key violation error with partitioned table  ("gunce orman" <guncepostgres@gmail.com>)
List pgsql-general
The postgresql partitions is done using inheritance . So basically your master table is empty and the child tables(partitions) contains all the records...right. You can check if your master table contains any records by using this query
 SELECT * FROM ONLY <master_table_name>
This will return zero if your master table is empty.

So when you reference your master table from other tables, it will always give FK violation since your master table is empty and the recs are in child tables only.

hello,

i have a partitioned table t_kayit with  6 partitions and kayit_id is primary key on this table. My other t_vto_sonuclari table use that kayit_id as foreign key. I'm trying to insert  values which contains kayit_id to t_vto_sonuclari and i'm sure those  kayit_ids are   in t_kayit table too but  when i'm inserting , i had  error.

ERROR:  insert or update on table "t_vto_sonuclari" violates foreign key constraint "fk_t_kayit_kayit_id"
DETAIL:  Key(kayit_id)=(54168) is not present in table t_kayit


I created a new test table which is totally same  as t_kayit but non partitioned . I create new foreign key on that t_vto_sonuclari which refers to the new test table.  In that case i didn't had that error.I could insert. what am i supposed to do for partitioned table?
