Álvaro Herrera 5914a22f6e Restructure foreign key handling code for ATTACH/DETACH ... to fix bugs when the referenced table is partitioned. The catalog representation we chose for foreign keys connecting partitioned tables (in commit `f56f8f8da6`) is inconvenient, in the sense that a standalone table has a different way to represent the constraint when referencing a partitioned table, than when the same table becomes a partition (and vice versa). Because of this, we need to create additional catalog rows on detach (pg_constraint and pg_trigger), and remove them on attach. We were doing some of those things, but not all of them, leading to missing catalog rows in certain cases. The worst problem seems to be that we are missing action triggers after detaching a partition, which means that you could update/delete rows from the referenced partitioned table that still had referencing rows on that table, the server failing to throw the required errors. !!! Note that this means existing databases with FKs that reference partitioned tables might have rows that break relational integrity, on tables that were once partitions on the referencing side of the FK. Another possible problem is that trying to reattach a table that had been detached would fail indicating that internal triggers cannot be found, which from the user's point of view is nonsensical. In branches 15 and above, we fix this by creating a new helper function addFkConstraint() which is in charge of creating a standalone pg_constraint row, and repurposing addFkRecurseReferencing() and addFkRecurseReferenced() so that they're only the recursive routine for each side of the FK, and they call addFkConstraint() to create pg_constraint at each partitioning level and add the necessary triggers. These new routines can be used during partition creation, partition attach and detach, and foreign key creation. This reduces redundant code and simplifies the flow. In branches 14 and 13, we have a much simpler fix that consists on simply removing the constraint on detach. The reason is that those branches are missing commit `f4566345cf`, which reworked the way this works in a way that we didn't consider back-patchable at the time. We opted to leave branch 12 alone, because it's different from branch 13 enough that the fix doesn't apply; and because it is going in EOL mode very soon, patching it now might be worse since there's no way to undo the damage if it goes wrong. Existing databases might need to be repaired. In the future we might want to rethink the catalog representation to avoid this problem, but for now the code seems to do what's required to make the constraints operate correctly.

PostgreSQL Database Management System

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings.

General documentation about this version of PostgreSQL can be found at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/. In particular, information about building PostgreSQL from the source code can be found at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/installation.html.
