It doesn't appear that Foreign keys are updated when renaming the
table. Causing references to become non-existant.
create table foobar ( id SERIAL);
INSERT INTO foobar DEFAULT VALUES;
INSERT INTO foobar DEFAULT VALUES;
INSERT INTO foobar DEFAULT VALUES;
create table barfoo (id int4 REFERENCES foobar (id) ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE);
update foobar set id = 10 where id = 1;
-- Works as expected
alter table barfoo rename to farboo;
-- No warnings from above line!
update foobar set id = 12 where id = 2;
-- ERROR: Relation 'barfoo' does not exist
