For example:

Table A

-id (PK)

-name

 

Table B

-table_a_id (PK, FK)

-address

 

When I do an insert on table B, the database check if value for column “table_a_id” exists in table A

But, if I do an update of column “address” of table B, does the database check again?

 

My question is due to the nature of and update in postgres, that basically is a new version “insert”.

In short - I believe it does. No reason for it not to.
