Hi,
I have this function which swaps primary keys for cabin_types (so that
id_cabin_type ordering reflects natural data ordering):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION swap_cabin_types(id1 integer, id2 integer)
RETURNS integer
AS $$
declare
tmp integer;
begin
tmp := nextval('cabin_type_id_cabin_type_seq');
update cabin_type set id_cabin_type=tmp where id_cabin_type=id1;
update cabin_type set id_cabin_type=id1 where id_cabin_type=id2;
update cabin_type set id_cabin_type=id2 where id_cabin_type=tmp;
return tmp;
end;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
'id_cabin_type' is a foreign key for two other tables, 'cabin_category'
and 'alert_cabin_type', which have an "on update cascade" clause.
When I run that function it seems the foreign keys are not properly
updated and the data ends up in a mess.
Did I forget something?
Thanks,
