Two questions (maybe they are silly..)
1. Can a column reference more than one table? (This assumes you use a
single sequence to generate the IDs for both "tbla" and "tblb". I guess
you would also have the problem of enforcing a unique index. Say what?!
A unique index across multiple tables.. absurd :) eg..
CREATE TABLE blah ( id int4, f_id int4 REFERENCES tbla (id) REFERENCES tblb (id) )
2. Can a column reference another column in the same table? eg..
CREATE TABLE bloo ( id int4, p_id int4 REFERENCES bloo (id) -- or --p_id int4 REFERENCES (id) )
I'm guessing the answer is no, in which case I have to fall back to
writing custom PL/ functions and triggers. Just thought I'd ask anyway.
It would be nice if it were this easy though...
