Hi group,
Considering following (simplified) example:
CREATE TABLE tblnr1(
nr1id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
firstname TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE tblnr2(
nr2id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
nr1id INTEGER REFERENCES tblnr1(nr1id)
);
CREATE TABLE tblnr3(
nr3id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
nr2id INTEGER REFERENCES tblnr2(nr2id)
);
Suppose I want to delete a record in tblnr1.
Does Postgres has some command/procedure/function to list tables that
have FK constraints on that table (tblnr1)
and lists also the tables that have a FK constraint on tables that have
a FK constraint on the first? etc.
So I would like some kind of FK 'walker'.
I want this because:
1) I hate DELETE CASCADE because I am chicken (So I use a script to
delete all related records in the right order in a transaction)
2) I have a lot of tables and am afraid I miss some. And I am also a bit
lazy .-)
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Erwin Moller
