Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
There is a severe problem with foreign keys that are inherited:
RI is NOT enforced on inherited foreign keys.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
create table tb1 (
id serial primary key
);
create table tb2 (
id serial primary key,
id_tb1 integer references tb1(id),
id_tb2 integer references tb2(id)
);
create table tb2a (
data varchar
) inherits(tb2);
-- these two return an error (correct)
insert into tb2(id_tb1) values (999);
insert into tb2(id_tb2) values (999);
-- but these two work (WRONG!!)
insert into tb2a(id_tb1) values (999);
insert into tb2a(id_tb2) values (999);
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
