I see no reason to assume that. He explicitely asked about an array of
foreign keys, and there is no array here.

Peter,

Again, from the op's reference to using constraint's and triggers, it seemed
like the op did not fully understand the FK's would do the same.
Also, it is not necessary to state which version I PostgreSQL I use, because that is irrelevant.
I am simply trying to help the op.
In the future, please refrain from chastising those of us that are trying to help others.
