The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 19420
Logged by: Agnieszka Chodkowska
Email address: a(dot)chodkowska(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 16.6
Operating system: Linux, Debian 12.2.0 64 bit
Description:
I have child table with FK defined as folllows
ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS tst.child_test_1
ADD CONSTRAINT child_test_1_parent_id_parent_part_by_fkey FOREIGN KEY
(parent_id, parent_part_by)
REFERENCES tst.maintenance_test_1_p20260218 (id, part_by) MATCH SIMPLE
ON UPDATE NO ACTION
ON DELETE CASCADE;
I updated configuration according to documentation as follows:
retention_keep_table=false ,
retention_keep_index = false
Somehow postgresql retains the foreign keys of the detached/dropped
partitions, to the parent table partitions.
I try the following methods:
partman.run_maintenance('tst.child_test_1')
partman.run_maintenance()
ALTER TABLE tst.child_test_1 DETACH PARTITION <child_test_p_20260218>
The error persisted regardless of the method used.
