> I've noticed (at least in pgAdmin III v1.8.4) that I can't create a foreign key constraint pointing to the table I'm
inthe process of creating. I can do it manually though. Here's an example:
> CREATE TABLE testtable
> (
> id serial NOT NULL,
> parent_id integer,
> CONSTRAINT pk_testtable_id PRIMARY KEY (id),
> CONSTRAINT fk_testtable_parent_id FOREIGN KEY (parent_id)
> REFERENCES testtable (id) MATCH SIMPLE
> ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
> )
> I could achieve this if I create the table then apply the foreign key, but it would be nice to be able to do this one
step. Is it possible to add this for a future release?
The code to implement it in the current dialogues would be quite messy
I expect. There is a TODO item which has had a little work put into it
already to replace the main table dialogue and the sub dialogues with
one 'uber' window - that project should make it easier to implement
something like this in the future.
