Hi all, I am using : PostgreSQL 7.2.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
I am facing strange problem.. I have created two tables: create table contact (id int constraint contact_pk primary key, name text ); create table address (id int constraint address_fk references contact(id) on delete cascade initially deferred, city text, pin text); Lets.. insert few data in it.. insert into contact values (1, 'Denis'); insert into contact values (2, 'Anand'); insert into contact values (3, 'Debatosh'); insert into contact values (4, 'Pradeep'); insert into address values (1,'Howrah','711102'); insert into address values (2,'Kolkata','700001'); insert into address values (3,'Jadavpur','700005'); insert into address values (4,'Mumbai','400002'); Now, below gives me the correct result. select * from contact; select * from address; acedg=> select * from contact; select * from address; id | name ----+---------- 1 | Denis 2 | Anand 3 | Debatosh 4 | Pradeep (4 rows) id | city | pin ----+----------+-------- 1 | Howrah | 711102 2 | Kolkata | 700001 3 | Jadavpur | 700005 4 | Mumbai | 400002 (4 rows) BUT, the problem starts when i issue the following set of DMLs in transaction: begin; delete from contact where id=1; insert into contact values (1, 'Denis'); delete from address where id=1; /* this is not required.. but my app.fires. Should not have any impact */ insert into address values (1,'Howrah','711102'); end; It gives me the result: acedg=> select * from contact; select * from address; id | name ----+---------- 2 | Anand 3 | Debatosh 4 | Pradeep 1 | Denis (4 rows) id | city | pin ----+----------+-------- 2 | Kolkata | 700001 3 | Jadavpur | 700005 4 | Mumbai | 400002 (3 rows) Where is my lastly inserted row ?? i.e. insert into address values (1,'Howrah','711102'); I have tested the same in ORACLE, and it works fine (i.e. both table has 4 records). It is BUG or !!! Pl. help. Thanx Denis ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
