Hi,
I've this data model:
CREATE SEQUENCE a_seq START 1;
CREATE SEQUENCE b_seq START 1;
CREATE TABLE a ( aid integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, aval character varying (255) NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO a (select nextval('a_seq'),'a1');
INSERT INTO a (select nextval('a_seq'),'a2');
CREATE TABLE b ( bid integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, bval character varying (255) NOT NULL
);
INSERT INTO b (select nextval('b_seq'),'b1');
INSERT INTO b (select nextval('b_seq'),'b2');
CREATE TABLE c ( cid integer NOT NULL, aid integer REFERENCES a (aid), bid integer REFERENCES b (bid), cval
charactervarying (255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (cid)
);
CREATE VIEW myview AS SELECT cid,aval,bval,cval FROM c INNER JOIN a ON
(a.aid=c.aid) INNER JOIN b ON (b.bid=c.bid);
Now I'd like to insert a row into "c" and if necessary
simultaneously create the referenced rows in
the referenced tables:
INSERT INTO myview VALUES (10,'a3','b1','c1');
(Here a row in "a" with aval 'a3' should be
created)
INSERT INTO myview VALUES (20,'a1','b2','c2');
(here a row in "a" with aval 'a1' should not
be created but referenced.)
(Same for "b").
"Insert into view" would't work, how could I do
my INSERTS efficiently in postgres without
having eache time an extra query which asks
whether there already is a row in "a" which
could be referenced to.
ie mache ich das
Thanks!
Marc
