Hi !
My system is i686/Linux Mandrake 7.0/Postgresql v-7.0.2.
I found a bug in the sql command ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT..., when I tried to add a composite foreign key constraint
(a FK with more than one attribute). The problem is in the file identified by
$Header: /home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/pgsql/src/backend/commands/command.c,v 1.71 2000/04/12 17:14:57 momjian Exp $
in the code lines #1139 to #1150, when the function AlterTableAddConstraint() tries to construct the vector of the triggers tgargs.
>From the position 4 and forward, it must collect the pairs of fk_attrs and pk_attrs (interleaved), but the current code put first all
fk_attrs and then all the pk_attrs, leading to an error.
I fixed the bug and tested the update and now it works well. I send you a "diff -c command.c command.fixed.c" (with the diff :
GNU diffutils version 2.7) and the output is:

I wish it would help you. If its necessary, drop me a line. Regards
