Hi,
I am using Arrays to store a list of values. Is it possible to
a) index array fields
b) to create a foreign key constraint from the array
Thanks

Same answer. In 7.4:
# CREATE TABLE t1 (id int[] PRIMARY KEY);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "t1_pkey"
for table "t1"
CREATE TABLE
# INSERT INTO t1 VALUES(ARRAY[1,2,3]);
INSERT 2028925 1
# CREATE TABLE t2 (id int, fk int[] REFERENCES t1(id));
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit trigger(s) for FOREIGN KEY
check(s)
CREATE TABLE
# INSERT INTO t2 VALUES(1, ARRAY[1,2,3]);
INSERT 2028935 1
# INSERT INTO t2 VALUES(2, ARRAY[3,4,5]);
ERROR: insert or update on "t2" violates foreign key constraint "$1"
DETAIL: Key (fk)=({3,4,5}) is not present in "t1".

Joe, that is good news.
When will be 7.4 availbable?
Also,
what i actually wanted is to ckeck that if lets say ARRAY[1,2,3]
is inserted but 1,2 or 3 (the the entire array) is not present in the
reference table.
Will that be available too ?

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

Beta2 is just starting. There isn't a firm date for the 7.4 release that
I'm aware of, but start looking for it in mid-September.

I was afraid that's what you were after. I think the answer is no, at
least not with standard RI constraints. You might be able to do
something with a custom trigger though.

I am reading the php manual online and don't understand the way arrays work.
It says arrays take a key, value pair which is fine I guess, but how do I
get an old fashion c style array? Are the keys like the indices?
say I want an array that contains the numbers 0 through 10, what do I make
the keys or does it even matter?
Thanx,
Chris

I'm having an argument with an incumbent self-taught programmer that
it is OK to use null foreign keys in database design.
My take is the whole point of a foreign key is that it's not supposed
to be optional, it's very definition is it's a necessary link to the
parent table and part of the definition. If it's optional it shouldn't
be part of the definition of a table and should be in a linking table
instead.

I'm doing a practice problem which includes me implementing a set of

threshold. Once the size of the set passes the threshold, the next

I've got a problem which I think may be a bug in Postgres, but I wonder if
I'm missing something. Two tables, A & B have foreign key relations to each
other. A 3rd table C, inherits from A. A stored procedure updates a row in
C, adds a row each in B & C. I get an integrity violation. All the foreign
keys are deferrable, and the stored procedure is called from within a
transaction with constraints deferred. (And the foreign keys do refer to...

Hey guys,
I want to import a database from SQL Server 2000 to MS Access with all
indices and keys along with the tables. DTS does not export indices
and keys, only the structure and the data.
When used "Import External Data" through Access(linking through ODBC)
it creadted liked tables, however with indices and keys. Can remove
these links and preserve only th stucture back. How do I do it.
Thanks

below
*************************

Cannot create table. If the error message refers to errno 150, table
creation failed because a foreign key constraint was not correctly formed.

Hello everyone.
I am not fluent in JavaScript, so I might overlook the obvious.
But in all other programming languages that I know and that
have associative arrays, or hashes, the elements in the
hash are alphabetically sorted if the key happens to
be alpha numeric. Which I believe makes sense because
it allows for fast lookup of a key.

I have a pretty urgent problem I need to solve, so if anyone has an idea
over this....
I am to check whether all the indices over foreign keys are properly
defined and I still cannot find where DB2 holds this particular data?
How can I see what columns are strictly in the FOREIGN KEY, and not
alltogether as in SYSIBM.SYSINDEXES table?
Any help is greatly appreciated....

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
