While I don't really understand "PostgreSQL scopes FK constraint names to the table", I can say that my patch fixing ticket 71 (when can we see it accepted?) does not load from information_schema and is not schema-scoped: worst than that! the query looks for the foreign keys (and the tables) using the function pg_table_is_visible(c.oid): SELECT conname, pg_catalog.pg_get_constraintdef(oid, true) as condef FROM pg_catalog.pg_constraint r WHERE r.conrelid = ( SELECT c.oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace WHERE c.relname = :table_name AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)) AND r.contype = 'f' ORDER BY 1 I can't see any possible drawback of this feature, that makes it possible to autoload tables in one schema referencing tables in another schema that is visible anyhow. If there is a possibility of a mistake this means the table should be specified by the schema (that's a different issue, anyhow), but the fk are bound to their tables by r.conrelid = c.oid sandro *:-) > which is news to me; the query used to reflect foreign keys takes > table name into account, and a unit test which reflects anonymously- > created foreign keys from two different tables works fine (and always > has...). can someone illustrate this problem for me ? -- Sandro Dentella *:-) http://www.tksql.org TkSQL Home page - My GPL work ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
