Hi to all,
I have the following tables:
CREATE TABLE t1(
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
active boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT 'y',
num int4 NOT NULL,
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX t1_uniqueidx ON t1(num) WHERE active;
CREATE TABLE t2(
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
active boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT 'y',
num int4 NOT NULL,
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX t2_uniqueidx ON t2(num) WHERE active;
CREATE TABLE relations(
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
id_t1 int4 NOT NULL REFERENCES t1(num),
id_t2 int4 NOT NULL REFERENCES t2(num)
);
On tables T1 and T2 the "num" columns have unique values for all lines that
have active='y'(true).
How can I write a constraint on Table T1 and Table T2 that if the "num" from
T1 and "num" from T2 are referenced from table "relation" than I cannot
update the "active" field to "false". My target is that I don't want to have
any reference from "relation" table to T1 and T2 where in the T1 and T2 the
active field is "n"(false)
or with other words:
if a line from T1/T2 is referenced from table "relations" than I don't want
to be able to put active='y'.
I hope I was so clear as possible.
Thnkx in advance for helping.
Andy.
