You mean like this? regression=# create table t1 (f1 int primary key); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 't1_pkey' for table 't1' CREATE TABLE regression=# create table t2 (f2 int references t1); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit trigger(s) for FOREIGN KEY check(s) CREATE TABLE regression=# insert into t2 values(42); ERROR: $1 referential integrity violation - key (f2)=(42) referenced from t2 not found in t1 regression=# I'm still wondering how to rephrase this to fit in the recently-agreed-to message style guidelines. I think the (col names)=(values) part must go into errdetail, but I'm fuzzy beyond that.
