> Is this set to be fixed in any particular release? Depending on what you're doing, this may be overkill, but: I have child tables that not only need FK constraints, but also triggers and the functions called by the triggers. So instead of writing this over and over again, I eventually wrote a single procedure that takes the name of the table, and using dynamic sql (execute command), generates the FKs and the procedures and the triggers. You *could* take it a step further, and have a procedure which takes the name of the base table, finds all inherited tables, and makes sure everything is set up correctly. I haven't, and probably won't, because I'm a solo developer and don't make additions to the schema at such a great rate that I would have trouble remembering to run my current "FooChild_Setup" function on a new table. -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
