I just discovered that trying to set a foreign key as NO INHERIT in
ALTER TABLE ALTER CONSTRAINT returns an absurd error message:
create table pk (a int primary key);
create table fk (a int references pk);
alter table fk alter constraint fk_a_fkey deferrable, alter constraint fk_a_fkey no inherit;
ERROR: ALTER CONSTRAINT statement constraints cannot be marked NO INHERIT
The explanation is that somebody misunderstood what must be given to
processCASbits in 2013. The intended message is:
ERROR: FOREIGN KEY constraints cannot be marked NO INHERIT
Here's the fix along with some additional cleanup.
