(apologies for posting directly to pgsql-hackers, but I'm asking for a hacker to explicitly check on the accuracy of another posting!) I've written (& submitted to pgsql-docs) a tutorial on using RI features and on alter the system catalog to change RI properties for existing relationships. I needs polishing, etc., but, mostly it needs someone more familiar than I to look at the last section, on Hacking RI. All of the changes I recommend I've tried in my databases (pg7.0.2 and pg7.1-devel), and haven't noticed any problems, but if anyone has any words of warning/advice/additional tips, I'd appreciate it.) It should be in today's pgsql-docs listings. Thanks! Joel Burton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
