Thread: Constraint of only one legal value for a foreign key
I have three tables (actually more :-)
Orgs
OrgTypes
MeetGrpDescs
OrgTypes is a foreign key in Orgs, and says what type of Org an Org is
It can be one of these:
'World Service Office', 'Area', 'District',
'Group', 'Region', 'AIS', 'LDC', 'AIS/LDC'
MeetGrpDescs is a table with various further attributes of ONLY the
Orgs with type of 'Group'.
How do I enforce that the records inserted into MeetGrpDescs are:
1/ An Org (done by foreign key constraints aleady, correct?)
2/ Are of type 'Group'
Here is the DDL for the three tables:
/* organizations -----------------------------------------*/

I was trying to connect to Pg 7.3.1 using perl and DBD::Pg 1.21, however the following error occurs:
$ perl pg_connect.pl
FATAL: No pg_hba.conf entry for host 164.35.10.17, user pgsql, database slave
DBI connect('dbname=slave;host=164.35.10.17;port=5432','pgsql',...) failed: FATAL: No pg_hba.conf entry for host
164.35.10.17,user pgsql, database slave at pg_connect.pl line 16
$
Does anybody know what is wrong? Weird that the same function in perl works fine in 7.2.3....
Thanks.

The error message is pretty specific. Are you sure you edited the right
pg_hba.conf? Did you SIGHUP the postmaster after you edited it?
regards, tom lane
You need to add 164.35.10.17 to your pg_hba.conf file and do a kill -HUP
on the postmaster pid.

Tom lane,
I've restarted Pg before, that's why still received the error message... Now that I've stopped and started it again
thefollowing message appears...
DBI connect('dbname=slave;host=164.35.10.17;port=5432','username=pgsql',...) failed: could not connect to server:
Connectionrefused at pg_connect.pl line 16
Is there any compatible problem with Pg and DBD::Pg? What am I doing wrong? =o)
Thanks...

"Connection refused" is not a postmaster message, it's a kernel-level
message. The implication is that there's nothing at all listening on
the port you tried to connect to. My guess is that the postmaster
isn't really running, or that you forgot to give it the -i option to
listen on TCP.
regards, tom lane
Thanks to all that helped me...
Please disregard my email asking for help... I found out the problem... Reading the reply from Tom, Tariq and Shane, I
realizedthat the problem was "the equipament" between the seat and the computer!!! =o)
I was the one to blame... =o)
Sorry bothering you all...
Living and learning!!! Hope less simple mistakes like that won't occur to me again...
Thanks all...
What happened was that I was using the pg_hda.conf from another Pg installed in my computer... Then when I realized
thatand started to used the right one... It work just fine!!!

Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. :-) Much better than an eye-dee-ten-tee (id10t) error. Rod -- "Open Source Software - Sometimes you get more than you paid for..."
That's a different error than the first pg_hba.conf...
Sounds like a pgoptions.conf dilemmna -- It TCP/IP enabled ? Did you start
postgres with TCP/IP enabled ?
