Re: Foreign key error, please help.

Hi Stephan,
Thank you very much, it was my stupid mistake.

One more question. aplogies if this is also not so
worthy question.
In a transaction does currval work only if a previous
statement defines it. In my case I wanted to get FK
from existing currval in sample table (sample_id).
when I execute my statements in a transasction, I get
the following error. Do I have to just use a SELECT
statement here, because currval is not working? Or did
i made a mistake instead?

Thank you.

My statement:
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
INSERT INTO
HYBRID_LABEL(sample_id,hyb_extraction_method,hyb_rna_mrna_genomicdna_extracted,hyb_amplification_pcr_rnapol,hyb_amount_nacid_labeled,hyb_label_used,hyb_label_incorporation_method,hyb_solution,hyb_blocking_agent,hyb_wash_procedure,hyb_quantity_labeled_target,hyb_time,hyb_concentration,hyb_volume,hyb_temp,hyb_instrument_desc)VALUES(currval('sample_sample_id_seq'),'NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA','NA');

bob=> \i /home/torun/ESHSC-H1ES/test.sql
BEGIN
psql:/home//torun/ESHSC-H1ES/test.sql:2: ERROR:
currval of sequence "sample_sample_id_seq" is not yet
