Thank you!

Do you mean this example?
CREATE TABLE t1 (
a integer PRIMARY KEY,
b integer,
c integer,
FOREIGN KEY (b, c) REFERENCES other_table (c1, c2)
);
This is not, what I want.

In my case it should be something like this:
CREATE TABLE t1 (
a integer PRIMARY KEY,
b integer,
c integer,
FOREIGN KEY (b) REFERENCES other_table (c1, c2='c2Value')
);
This example does not work. But I think you can see, what I mean.
