This is a situation when we needed fill a new store data in a family env. When I run "alter table a disable trigger all;" ... the foreign key "a_id_b_fkey" was disabled to, its ok, but I needed run a load data into tables "a"and "b" and table a exists a tuple that not exists in column id_b -> (references b(id)).
When finished, the command "alter table a enable trigger all" was executed but not alert or broken, why? Cause orphan record is there. This behavior is common or when doing "enable trigger all" PostgreSQL whould show me a error or a warning? In this case I have to drop constraint and re-create again to get my goal. -- Statements to reproduce drop table if exists a; drop table if exists b; create table if not exists a (id int primary key , id_b int, descr text); create table if not exists b (id int primary key , descr text); alter table a add constraint a_id_b_fkey foreign key (id_b) references b(id); alter table a disable trigger all ; insert into b values (1, 'house'); insert into b values (2, 'apartment'); insert into a values (1,1,'house sold'); insert into a values (2,1,'house 1 not sold'); insert into a values (3,2,'apartment 1 not sold'); insert into a values (4,null,'house to buy'); insert into a values (5,3,'car to sell'); select * from a; select * from b; alter table a enable trigger all; select * from a; select * from b; -- *Atenciosamente,Emanuel Araújo* *Linux Certified, DBA PostgreSQL*
