Here's the DDL for types:
CREATE TABLE types (
id integer DEFAULT nextval('"types_id_seq"'::text)
NOT NULL,
name character varying(255) NOT NULL,
item_count integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
page_template_id integer,
type_template_id integer,
item_template_id integer,
content_template_id integer,
items_template_id integer,
site_id integer NOT NULL
);
ALTER TABLE ONLY types
ADD CONSTRAINT "$1" FOREIGN KEY (page_template_id)
REFERENCES templates(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE
SET NULL;
ALTER TABLE ONLY types
ADD CONSTRAINT "$2" FOREIGN KEY (type_template_id)
REFERENCES templates(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE
SET NULL;
ALTER TABLE ONLY types
ADD CONSTRAINT "$3" FOREIGN KEY (item_template_id)
REFERENCES templates(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE
SET NULL;
ALTER TABLE ONLY types
ADD CONSTRAINT "$4" FOREIGN KEY
(content_template_id) REFERENCES templates(id) ON
UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE SET NULL;
ALTER TABLE ONLY types
ADD CONSTRAINT "$5" FOREIGN KEY
(items_template_id) REFERENCES templates(id) ON UPDATE
CASCADE ON DELETE SET NULL;
ALTER TABLE ONLY types
ADD CONSTRAINT fk_types_sites FOREIGN KEY
(site_id) REFERENCES sites(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON
DELETE CASCADE;
And templates:
CREATE TABLE templates (
id integer DEFAULT
nextval('"templates_id_seq"'::text) NOT NULL,
name character varying(255) NOT NULL,
type_id integer,
site_id integer
);
ALTER TABLE ONLY templates
ADD CONSTRAINT fk_templates_sites FOREIGN KEY
(site_id) REFERENCES sites(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON
DELETE CASCADE;
Hmm, looks like I forgot a templates_types f/k.
Sites doesn't have any f/k's or constraints.
I'm using version 8.0.2.
It turns out there were no corresponding records in
table 'types'. Furthermore, 'delete from templates
where site_id=1;' resulted in this error:
ERROR: insert or update on table "types" violates
foreign key constraint "$1"
DETAIL: Key (page_template_id)=(8) is not present
in table "templates".
CONTEXT: SQL statement "UPDATE ONLY
"public"."types" SET "item_template_id" = NULL WHERE
"item_template_id" = $1"
But I was able to individually delete each template
record, then do 'delete from sites where id=1' with no
resulting errors. I'm still confused what the problem
was.
thanks
