如何添加“删除级联”约束？

all

在 PostgreSQL 8 中，是否可以添加ON DELETE CASCADES到下表中的两个外键而不删除后者？

# \d scores
        Table "public.scores"
 Column  |         Type          | Modifiers
---------+-----------------------+-----------
 id      | character varying(32) |
 gid     | integer               |
 money   | integer               | not null
 quit    | boolean               |
 last_ip | inet                  |
Foreign-key constraints:
   "scores_gid_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (gid) REFERENCES games(gid)
   "scores_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)

两个引用的表格都在下面 - 这里：

# \d games
                                     Table "public.games"
  Column  |            Type             |                        Modifiers
----------+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
 gid      | integer                     | not null default nextval('games_gid_seq'::regclass)
 rounds   | integer                     | not null
 finished | timestamp without time zone | default now()
Indexes:
    "games_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (gid)
Referenced by:
    TABLE "scores" CONSTRAINT "scores_gid_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (gid) REFERENCES games(gid)

和这里：

# \d users
                Table "public.users"
   Column   |            Type             |   Modifiers
------------+-----------------------------+---------------
 id         | character varying(32)       | not null
 first_name | character varying(64)       |
 last_name  | character varying(64)       |
 female     | boolean                     |
 avatar     | character varying(128)      |
 city       | character varying(64)       |
 login      | timestamp without time zone | default now()
 last_ip    | inet                        |
 logout     | timestamp without time zone |
 vip        | timestamp without time zone |
 mail       | character varying(254)      |
Indexes:
    "users_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
Referenced by:
    TABLE "cards" CONSTRAINT "cards_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "catch" CONSTRAINT "catch_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "chat" CONSTRAINT "chat_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "game" CONSTRAINT "game_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "hand" CONSTRAINT "hand_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "luck" CONSTRAINT "luck_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "match" CONSTRAINT "match_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "misere" CONSTRAINT "misere_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "money" CONSTRAINT "money_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "pass" CONSTRAINT "pass_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "payment" CONSTRAINT "payment_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "rep" CONSTRAINT "rep_author_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (author) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "rep" CONSTRAINT "rep_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "scores" CONSTRAINT "scores_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)
    TABLE "status" CONSTRAINT "status_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES users(id)

而且我想知道在前一张表中添加 2 个索引是否有意义？

更新： 谢谢，而且我在邮件列表中得到了建议，我可以在 1 条语句中管理它，因此无需明确启动交易：

ALTER TABLE public.scores
DROP CONSTRAINT scores_gid_fkey,
ADD CONSTRAINT scores_gid_fkey
   FOREIGN KEY (gid)
   REFERENCES games(gid)
   ON DELETE CASCADE;

我很确定您不能简单地添加on delete cascade到现有的外键约束。您必须先删除约束，然后添加正确的版本。在标准 SQL
中，我相信最简单的方法是

开始交易，
删除外键，
添加外键on delete cascade, 最后
提交事务

对要更改的每个外键重复此操作。

但是 PostgreSQL 有一个非标准扩展，允许您在单个 SQL 语句中使用多个约束子句。例如

alter table public.scores
drop constraint scores_gid_fkey,
add constraint scores_gid_fkey
   foreign key (gid)
   references games(gid)
   on delete cascade;

如果您不知道要删除的外键约束的名称，您可以在 pgAdminIII 中查找（只需单击表名并查看
DDL，或者展开层次结构直到看到“约束”），或者您可以查询信息架构。

select *
from information_schema.key_column_usage
where position_in_unique_constraint is not null
