Hi,
I noticed a behaviour in PostgreSql 7 (beta 3, Alpha, Digital Unix 4.0f,
cc) that probably needs to be addressed.
If I create a table referencing a view
create table mytable (id serial, name text);
create view myview as select * from mytable where name like 'A%';
create table othertable (id serial, refer integer references myview
(id));
the engine doesn't complain, but
insert into mytable (name) values ('Alpha');
insert into othertable (refer) values (1);
ERROR: system column oid not available - myview is a view
which looks sensible. But probably the errors should have been raised at
'create table othertable'.
What do you think?
