I have a database that has been upgrade numerous times (Started about 7.1 and is not 7.4.8). The table has 2 foreign keys on it, but when I look at the table I see that the FK applied before 7.4.X is written as a trigger. Everything seems to work, I was just wondering if there are any performance reasons to change the trigger to a FK. issp=> \d notpoll Table "public.notpoll" Column | Type | Modifiers -------------+---------+----------- notpollid | integer | not null pollgrpid | integer | notgroupsid | integer | Indexes: "notpoll_pkey" primary key, btree (notpollid) "notpoll_pollgrpid_key" unique, btree (pollgrpid) Foreign-key constraints: "pollgrp_exists" FOREIGN KEY (pollgrpid) REFERENCES pollgrpinfo(pollgrpid) ON DELETE CASCADE Triggers: "RI_ConstraintTrigger_2137396" AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON notpoll FROM notgroups NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "RI_FKey_check_ins"('notgroups_exists', 'notpoll', 'notgroups', 'UNSPECIFIED', 'notgroupsid', 'notgroupsid') Thanks, Woody ---------------------------------------- iGLASS Networks 211-A S.
