Re: Need to check each element of an array satisfies a foreign key constraint

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

 



Ok, thanks. 

I was looking for, but didn't find, something like... each_element_of(regexp_split_to_array(children_csv)) references projects(project);
Of course the "each_element_of" is my creation here :-)

I suppose I could write a stored procedure to do this and call it in a check constraint. But I was wondering if there is something more elegant.


You cannot use a check constraint here as the behavior is not immutable.  You can use a trigger function though.  Or normalize the table and use the built-it foreign key triggers.
