I cannot do this pair of table creations directly, because they are mutually
dependent.
create table purchased_job
(
supplier char(10) not null
references supplier (id) match full,
specification text,
del_point char(2) not null
references location (id) match full,
import_licence bool default 'f',
import_duty numeric(12,2),
terms char(3),
deliv_clear numeric(12,2),
foreign key (product, supplier) references product_supplier (product,
supplier) match full
)
inherits (job)
;
create table product_supplier
(
product char(10) not null
references purchased_job (product) match full,
supplier char(10) not null
references supplier (id) match full,
primary key (product, supplier)
)
;
so I omitted the foreign key specification from the creation of purchased_job
and tried to add it afterwards, but (after fixing a bug in gram.y) I found
that ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT is not yet implemented. Is there, then, any
way to create this mutual dependency?
