Foreign Key to Inherited table - Mailing list pgsql-general

<fontfamily><param>Verdana</param><x-tad-bigger>I have a table called
Person that has a primary key personID. Another table called ProUser
that inherits from Person. In another table called ProPriceSchedule I
have a foreign key constraint to the ProUser table, like so:
CONSTRAINT proUser FOREIGN KEY (personID) REFERENCES ProUser(personID).


The problem I am having is this: ERROR: UNIQUE constraint matching
given keys for referenced table "prouser" not found


Here are the tables for reference:


CREATE SEQUENCE pro_price_schedule_id;


CREATE TABLE ProPriceSchedule

(

scheduleID int8 PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT NEXTVAL('pro_price_schedule_id'),

personID int8 NOT NULL,

title varchar (32) NOT NULL CHECK (title <<> ''),

CONSTRAINT proUser FOREIGN KEY (personID) REFERENCES ProUser(personID)

);


CREATE SEQUENCE user_id;


CREATE TABLE Person

(

personID int8 PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT NEXTVAL('user_id'),

firstName varchar (32) NOT NULL CHECK (firstName <<> ''),

lastName varchar (32) NOT NULL CHECK (lastName <<> ''),

address1 varchar (64) NOT NULL CHECK (address1 <<> ''),

address2 varchar (64) ,

phone varchar (16) ,

CONSTRAINT state FOREIGN KEY (stateID) REFERENCES State(stateID)

);


CREATE TABLE ProUser

) INHERITS (Person);</x-tad-bigger></fontfamily>
