Hi everyone. Im having a problem with heritage. The situation is the following:
I have two tables, tbl_everyone and tbl_employees. tbl_employees
inherits from tbl_everyone.
In tbl_everyone, i store some information about everyone who is
related with the place where i work: Name, ID (PK), Birth Date,
Adress...
Then, in tbl_employees i have aditional information, like area, position, etc.
The problem appears when i have someone in tbl_everyone that becomes
an employee. What do i have to do ? Consider that ID in tbl_everyone
is used in auxiliar tables, so i cannot easily delete the person in
tbl_everyone and insert it again in tbl_employees.. .
Thanks in advance

Rather than inheriting, tbl_employees could be a separate table that
holds only the additional information and it should have a foreign key
reference to tbl_everyone. When someone becomes an employee, create a
row in tbl_employees with the extra information.
Create a View that combines tbl_employees with tbl_everyone to return
the information that your inheriting table would have given you.
Alternatively, create a separate index of keys to the hierarchy and use
it as the target for foreign key references. Use triggers to keep it up
to date.

Have you tried deferred constraints, eg:
BEGIN;
SET CONSTRAINTS ALL DEFERRED;
DELETE ...;
INSERT ...;
END;
I've haven't had chance to test this, but I think this could
be what you're looking for.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
