Re: Self referential foreign keys in partitioned table not working as expected

Ok, I can confirm this.

This throws an error like it should:

create table test (
    id_1 int4 not null,
    id_2 int4 not null,
    parent_id_2 int4 null,
    primary key (id_1, id_2),
    foreign key (id_1, parent_id_2) references test (id_1, id_2)
);
insert into test values (1, 1, null), (1, 2, 1);
delete from test where (id_1, id_2) = (1, 1);

On a partitioned table, it does not throw the error:

create table test (
    id_1 int4 not null,
    id_2 int4 not null,
    parent_id_2 int4 null,
    primary key (id_1, id_2),
    foreign key (id_1, parent_id_2) references test (id_1, id_2)
) partition by list (id_1);
create table test_1 partition of test for values in (1);
insert into test values (1, 1, null), (1, 2, 1);
delete from test where (id_1, id_2) = (1, 1);
