here are the constraints of the abilitazione table ALTER TABLE public.abilitazione ADD CONSTRAINT abilitazione_pkey PRIMARY KEY(comuneid, cassonettoid, chiaveid); ALTER TABLE public.abilitazione ADD CONSTRAINT abilitazione_cassonettoid_fkey FOREIGN KEY (comuneid, cassonettoid) REFERENCES public.cassonetto (comuneid, cassonettoid) ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT; ALTER TABLE public.abilitazione ADD CONSTRAINT abilitazione_chiaveid_fkey FOREIGN KEY (comuneid, chiaveid) REFERENCES public.chiave (comuneid, chiaveid) ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT; here those of cassonetto and chiave: ALTER TABLE public.cassonetto ADD CONSTRAINT cassonetto_pkey PRIMARY KEY(comuneid, cassonettoid); ALTER TABLE public.chiave ADD CONSTRAINT chiave_pkey PRIMARY KEY(comuneid, chiaveid); I get the SQL from pgAdmin3 (great piece of sofware!;-) > It's usually best to cut'n'paste the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE > statements that are used to create the constraints. That way we know > exactly what you're talking about. Excuse me for the missing SQL, but i had tried to keep the message as simple as possible. The unique difference form when the exception was raised and now (that it isn't) is the rule added: CREATE OR REPLACE RULE abilita_ins_rl AS ON INSERT TO abilitazione WHERE (EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM abilitazione WHERE (((abilitazione.comuneid = new.comuneid ) AND (abilitazione.cassonettoid = new.cassonettoid )) AND (abilitazione.chiaveid = new.chiaveid ))))ù DO INSTEAD UPDATE abilitazione SET abilitata = new.abilitata WHERE (((abilitazione.comuneid = new.comuneid ) AND (abilitazione.cassonettoid = new.cassonettoid )) AND (abilitazione.chiaveid = new.chiaveid )); I hope now is more clear. The version is that come with debian unstable (7.3.4 if I remember correctly) Thank you for the immediate responses ciao, Michele ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
