I've to fill something like:
create table DESTtable1 (
pk1 serial primary key,
-- rest of stuff
);
create table DESTtable2 (
pk2 serial primary key,
fk1 int references DESTtable1(pk1)
-- rest of stuff
);
from data that are such way
create table SRCtable1 (
pk1 serial primary key,
-- rest of stuff
);
create table SRCtable2 (
fk1 int references DESTtable1(pk1)
ak int not null,
-- rest of stuff
unique(fk1,aa)
);
substantially (fk1,aa) -> pk2
the best way I thought is:
create table temp1 (
pk2 serial primary key,
fk1 int references DESTtable1(pk1),
ak int not null
);
start transaction;
insert into temp1 (fk1,ak) select ....
insert into DESTtable2 (pk2,fk1,...)
select (pk2,fk1...) from SRC2
join temp1 ...
);
setval('....',currval('...'));
commit;
But it looks awful. I did it. It worked... but it is awful!
BTW I saw there is no OWNED BY in 8.1, is there any other way to
auto-drop sequences when columns get dropped?
