Why not just get rid of the status column in incident_comments, and treat incident_summary.status as the sole copy of the state? When you need to get to it from incident_comments, you do a join. The foreign key you really ought to have here is from incident_comments.incident_id to incident_summary.id (assuming that I've understood your schema correctly). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
