Thread: triggers to foreign keys

triggers to foreign keys

From

If one has upgraded postgres from 7.1.2 to 7.3.1,
how does one convert all the triggers that represent
7.1.2 foreign keys to actual foreign keys.

What I really want to have, is that when I dump the new
upgraded database, that the tables will be dumped with the
original "foreign key" syntax as they were created initially on
7.1.2, and not a bunch of triggers.

My problem is that programs like Visio don't see triggers
properly as entity relationships when drawing reverse engineered table
ERD's.

It works 100% when the table is created in 7.3.1
with the appropriate foreign key syntax.

Will appreciate any help

The contrib/adddepend module is supposed to help with this
(I've not used it myself though).
