Problem with FKEYS



How come pgsql7.3.4 Was allowing me to delete the master record while
referencing records were present in slave table?

The problem was detected when the database was migrated to 7.4 and
deletions were being refused.

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

The only explanation I can think of is that the referencing row shown as
being in user_services was actually in a child table --- foreign keys
don't work in inheritance hierarchies at the moment.

If that's not it, can you provide a self-contained example?
