The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1662 Logged by: Steven Mooij Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.4.7 Operating system: i386-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC i386-linux-gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-12) Description: Table constrains are not properly inherited. Details:
When a table is inherited from, it's table constraints are 'disabled': CREATE TABLE super (x INTEGER, PRIMARY KEY (x)); CREATE TABLE sub (y INTEGER) INHERITS (super); INSERT INTO sub VALUES (1, 1); INSERT INTO sub VALUES (1, 2); INSERT INTO super VALUES (1); This should result in a 'duplicate key violation' for the unique constraint on super(x), but it doesn't. In this case SELECT x FROM super; results in: x --- 1 1 1 (3 rows) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
