Don't know why I've not come across this before, but I have now.
In a table definition I reference the primary key of another table. That
key is of datatype SERIAL. In the referencing table, do I define the column
as
col_name INTEGER REFERENCES other-table (primary_key_field),
or is the datatype SERIAL because that's what the referenced
primary_key_field is?
Serial is a psuedo type to integer/big (depending on the type of
serial). What you have above should work fine.
