Plans to fix table inheritance caveats

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Are there any plans to fix the caveats documented in section 5.8.1, particularly allowing rows in a derived table to satisfy a foreign key defined on a base table? I know it's on the TODO list ( http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo#Inheritance ) - just wondering if anyone is actually working on it or planning to in the foreseeable future.

It would certainly be my number one feature request for PostgreSQL! Table inheritance is very useful for persisting an object model with inheritance, but with this limitation it can effectively only be used when nothing references the base table (unless you give up referential integrity).

Regards,

Evan
