I have two tables joined by a foreign key constraint:
CREATE TABLE test_master( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, foo TEXT ); CREATE TABLE test_detail( id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,master BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES test_master(id) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE,bar TEXT );
Is there a way to block deletes on the "test_detail" table that will only allow rows to be deleted if it is the result of deleting the corresponding "test_master" record? In other words, I'd like to disallow direct DELETE commands like this:
DELETE FROM test_detail WHERE id = 1;
while allowing a command like
DELETE FROM test_master WHERE id = 1;
to subsequently delete via CASCADE all "test_detail" rows that reference test_master # 1.
I've tried using rules and revoking privileges, but both of these approaches fail when trying to delete from "test_master".
