[GENERAL] inherit with foreign key reference

[Aaron Steele]

dear readers,

i've created a simple Fooey table that inherits from Foo:
!----------------------------------------------------------!
CREATE TABLE Foo(
        fooid           serial UNIQUE,
        footype         text);
CREATE TABLE Fooey(
        data            text);
INHERITS(Foo);
!----------------------------------------------------------!

next i try to create a Bar table that references Fooey's fooid (inherited from 
Foo) as a foreign key:
!----------------------------------------------------------!
CREATE TABLE Bar(
        fooeyid         int REFERENCES Fooey(fooid));
!----------------------------------------------------------!

unfortunately i get the following error:
!----------------------------------------------------------!
ERROR:  there is no unique constraint matching given keys for referenced table 
"pagesrc"
!----------------------------------------------------------!

thoughts?

thanks,
aaron
