Re: unique across two tables

Misa,

 

Your statement is utterly false simply by virtue of the documentation.

 

Inserts never propagate to other tables in a hierarchy

Indexes/Constraints only apply to individual tables

 

Since inserts do not propagate the base table never sees the records and thus the index on the base table cannot enforce uniqueness.

 

Other caveats and restrictions to the current inheritance implementation can be found in section 5.8 (Inheritance) of the documentation.  It is in the “Data Definition” chapter.

Hi Tarlika,

 

I think easy solution could be:

 

create baseTable with just one column as PK

 

TableA inhertis baseTable, it will have inherited Column + additianl tables for TableA

TableB inherits baseTable, it will aslo have inherited Column + additianl tables for TableB

 

Insert in any table TableA or TableB will automatically insert row in baseTable what will fail if value already exist...
