Foreign key to all inherited tables

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to have a foreign key reference to the
primary key column of all tables throughout an inheritance tree. For
example, I have a parent_table with a unique_id (type serial) and a child
table which inherits the parent_table (inheriting the unique_id). I would
like to have another table have a field, unique_id, who's value must be in
the unique_id field of the parent or the child. I tried adding an asterix
to the end of the foreign key table refrence, {CONSTRAINT fk_other_table
FOREIGN KEY (unique_id) REFERENCES parent_table* (unique_id)} but the parser
didn't like that. Then I tried creating a check constraint on the field in
the 'other_table' to check if the value was 'IN (SELECT unique_id from
parent_table*)'. The table creation went fine, but when I tried to insert
any values into the table it produced an error:
ExecEvalExpr: unknown expression type 108.

Does anyone have a work-around for this?

Thanks!
Darrin
