Jos Mara Fernndez Gonzlez (jmfernandez(at)cnb(dot)uam(dot)es) reports a bug with a severity of 1
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
Referential Integrity corrupted sometimes by Rules
Long Description
If you define an empty rule with a condition over a table which references to another table with ON DELETE CASCADE (or ON UPDATE CASCADE), referential integrity is violated letting entries in the referer table. Even more, referential integrity doesn't work even if the rule is erased. I was able to reproduce this bug until I got the next message on the psql console:
NOTICE: InvalidateSharedInvalid: cache state reset
NOTICE: InvalidateSharedInvalid: cache state reset
And then it just worked well again.
Sample Code
-- We suppose we are working with an
-- user called 'prueba'
-- Main table
create table ent (
pri integer NOT NULL,
primary key (pri)
);
-- Referenced table
create table rel (
ref integer NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (ref) REFERENCES ent(pri) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE
);
-- Inserting test values
insert into ent values (5);
insert into ent values (6);
insert into ent values (7);
insert into rel values (5);
insert into rel values (6);
insert into rel values (7);
select * from ent;
pri
-----
5
6
7
select * from rel;
ref
-----
5
6
7
delete from ent where pri=5;
SELECT * FROM ent;
pri
-----
6
7
SELECT * FROM rel;
ref
-----
6
7
-- Rule over the referenced table
-- which breaks referential integrity
create rule nodelrel
as on delete to rel
where old.ref > 3 and user = 'prueba'
do instead nothing;
delete from ent where pri=7;
SELECT * FROM ent;
pri
-----
6
SELECT * FROM rel;
ref
-----
6
7
-- Dropping rule doesn't fix it
drop rule nodelrel;
delete from ent where pri=6;
select * from ent;
ent
-----
(0 rows)
select * from rel;
ref
-----
6
