Oops, I copy-pasted the wrong block of text from my terminal. I meant: alter table b add constraint a_fk foreign key (id) references a (id) on delete cascade on update cascade; > create table a1 partition of a for values from (1) to (2); > create table a2 partition of a for values from (2) to (3); > create table b1 partition of b for values from (1) to (2); > create table b2 partition of b for values from (2) to (3); > insert into a (id) values (1); > insert into b (id) values (1); > > -- correctly applies ON UPDATE CASCADE action > update a set id=2; > UPDATE 1 > > select * from b; > id > ---- > 2 > (1 row) -- Amit Langote EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
