Unless you want to mess with the catalogs directly, I believe that
you have to create a new constraint and delete the old one, like:
Table "laurenz.b"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
b_id | integer | not null
a_id | integer | not null
Indexes:
"b_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (b_id)
"b_a_id_ind" btree (a_id)
Foreign-key constraints:
"b_a_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (a_id) REFERENCES a(a_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
ALTER TABLE b ADD CONSTRAINT scratch FOREIGN KEY (a_id) REFERENCES a(a_id);
ALTER TABLE b DROP CONSTRAINT b_a_id_fkey;
ALTER TABLE b RENAME CONSTRAINT scratch TO b_a_id_fkey;
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
