Hello! I have a Problem.
A table with a ForeignKeyRef exits. The Name of the field with this FK-Constraint is 'id_employee' because it is referencing the field 'id_employee' in 'public.sd_employee'. I drop this column of the table with cascade in a script: ALTER TABLE public.sd_messaging_participant DROP COLUMN id_employee CASCADE; In one script later i try to make an update on the referenced Table: UPDATE sd_employee SET leave = 1.5; But it doesent works. I get always this Error: ERROR: constraint participant_employee: table sd_messaging_participant does not have an attribute id_employee The constraint 'participant_employee' should be droped too, due the use of CASCADE, but it seems that he is alive. Also explizit dropping the constraint 'participant_employee' before dropping the field will not solve the problem: ALTER TABLE public.sd_messaging_participant DROP CONSTRAINT participant_employee CASCADE; If i try to drop the constraint after dropping the field, postgres means the constraint is not existing anymore. But if i try to do the update it produces still this error. If i dump the DB i can not found the constraint 'participant_employee' anymore but 3 triggers belonging to this constraint are still in the DB: ... CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER participant_employee AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON sd_messaging_participant FROM sd_employee NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "RI_FKey_check_ins" ('participant_employee', 'sd_messaging_participant', 'sd_employee', 'UNSPECIFIED', 'id_employee', 'id_employee'); ... That is for Insert and there are one for Update and one for Deleting too. I have absolutly no idea how can this happens and i think i could solve this problem by dropping these 3 Triggers. But i dont know how is the syntax to drop such triggers? And know anybody out there how it could happen? Thanks for your help, Thomas! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
