Re: clone_schema function - Mailing list pgsql-general

Yes, however, the documentation would be a lot clearer if it said "copies all constraints except foreign keys". I've made this known.

At any rate, I've attached a new version of the function that now does copy the foreign keys. Let me know if I missed anything else.

Thanks Igor,

hmm, apparently the "INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS' option of "CREATE TABLE' has a glitch and only includes the primary key.

I also noticed that INCLUDING ALL generates an error, so I'll have to report that also.

I'll go eat some crow and work on a fix to add all constraints in the meantime.

 

 

It’s not a bug.

According to docs:

“Not-null constraints are always copied to the new table. CHECK constraints will only be copied if INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS is specified; other types of constraints will never be copied.”

So, FK constraints are not supposed to be copied.

Igor Neyman
