You're right - you'll need to use the domain name as the foreign key instead. So your tables will look like this: CREATE TABLE domains ( domain_name text not null primary key, .... ); CREATE TABLE mailusers ( username text not null, password text not null, domain_name text not null, created timestamp with time zone not null default now(), .... constraint users_pk primary key (username, domain_name), constraint users_domains_fk foreign key (domain_name) references domains(domain_name) ); And then your query would look something like this: select u.username ||'@'||d.domain as email_address from mailusers u inner join domains d on (u.domain_name = d.domain_name) ...
