IMO, both approaches make sense... >From temporal point no doubt, referencing should be contained by referenced table....
>From other side could be useful if in master table are elements with simple data type, but for some set of elements there could be common properties in another table.. What today is doable on the way to in another table have the same data type and repeat the same properties for each element...That would be possible with Range data type, though it does not mean always data are in range so array is probably better option... However I am not sure from maintaining point of view, i,e when an element should be removed from that common properties set - but it is different topic :) Kind Regards, Misa Sent from my Windows Phone -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Davis Sent: 17/06/2012 08:55 To: Gabriele Bartolini Cc: PostgreSQL-development; Marco Nenciarini Subject: Re: [HACKERS] [PATCH] Support for foreign keys with arrays -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
