Is This s bug:


create table A
(       key varchar(20) not null primary key
);

create table B
(       id serial not null primary key,       col1 varchar(20) not null,       col2 varchar(20) not null
);

alter table B create constraint fk_col1 foreign key ( col1 ) references A ( 
key ) on delete cascade on update cascade;

alter table B create constraint fk_col2 foreign key ( col2 ) references A ( 
key ) on delete cascade on update cascade;


SQL Creation and operation works fine.  In the case that one row in table B 
where col1 = col2, if I update A.key, I'll get a referential integrity 
violation??

ie: ERROR: fk_col1 referential integrity violation - key referenced from B 
not found in A.

Is there a way to make this type of constraint work with the update?

If not, is there a way to create a constraint so that col1 != col2 is 
inforced?


Thanks in advance..
Dennis
