Hello,
I am new to postgres. I have a scenario where I need a trigger that inserts values into n tables but dome of those tables are related.
I dug up some documents and I stumbled across CTE or teh with statement.
This is what I am trying:
WITH x AS
(INSERT INTO industry (name,abbr,description,cr_date,last_upd)
VALUES ('df','','',now(),now()) returning id) insert into sector (name,description,cr_date,last_upd,industry_id) select 's1','',now(),now(),id from x;
I get a error:
ERROR: insert or update on table "sector" violates foreign key constraint "sector_id_fkey"
DETAIL: Key (id)=(394) is not present in table "industry".
If I execute the insert individually, I am able to insert a record. Wonder what I am doing wrong.
I have been stuck with this issue for over 24 hours. Appreciate any help.
