Обсуждение: foreign key constraint not working when index tablespace is not default.
I have two tablespaces: fis (default) and fis_index. The users are required to
create the tables in fis and the indexes if fis_index.
If the indexes are created in fis_index, the foreign key constraints in the
user table are ignored on insert and update.
The constraints work properly if the indexes are created in the default
tablespace.

Hi Tom,
Ok. You are right but I am not crazy (yet).
If I create the tables and indexes as user postgres it works like a charm.
But if I create the tables as a mortal user or create them as postgres but in
the schema of user joelk and grant all to user joelk, I can insert data
without the foreign key constraint being respected. Now if I drop the foreign
key constraint and recreate it with a schema prefix in the references section,
the constarint works fine.
alter table joelk.jk_users add FOREIGN KEY (department) REFERENCES
joelk.jk_map(code);
fis=> INSERT INTO joelk.jk_users VALUES( 'fancott', 'Fancott, T.',
'fancott@cs.concordia.ca', '08', 'Professor' );
ERROR: insert or update on table "jk_users" violates foreign key constraint
"jk_users_department_fkey"
DETAIL: Key (department)=(08) is not present in table "jk_map".
fis=> \d jk_users Table "joelk.jk_users"
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+------------------------+-----------
username | character varying(8) |
name | character varying(64) | not null
email | character varying(128) |
department | character varying(2) | not null
title | character varying(64) | not null
Indexes:
"jk_users_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (name, department, title)
Foreign-key constraints:
"jk_users_department_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (department) REFERENCES jk_map(code)
Everything also works fine if a mortal user creates the tables and indexes in
the appropriate tablespaces and uses the schema.table(column_name) in the
references section of the foreign key constraint.
Strange.
Not sure if this is relevant - in this database I dropped the public schema
and I had to grant all to the group public so that users could create indexes
in the fis_index tablespace.
fis=> \db+
List of tablespaces
Name | Owner | Location | Access

fis | postgres | /local/data/pgsql-8.0/fis |
fis_index | postgres | /local/data/pgsql-8.0/fis_index |

Thanks for looking into it.
Regards

This is even harder to believe than the first report. Could we see a
complete, self-contained test case? A SQL script that demonstrates the
problem from a standing start in an empty database is what I have in mind.
(What I suspect is that you have multiple similarly-named tables in
different schemas and are getting confused by that...)

I don't think I am crazy and the user who showed me the problem exists - but damn it neither he or I cannot duplicate the problem. The only thing that changed is each of us has logged out of our session and logged back in. The only thing that could have happened is that sometime in the past the schema search path changed after the user logged in. There was no other table with a duplicate name in another schema. Thanks for doing the sanity check.
