Postgres FK referencing composite PK

Question

Consider

CREATE TABLE foo (
    id SERIAL,
    foo_created_on ABSTIME,
    foo_deactivated_on ABSTIME,
    PRIMARY KEY (id, foo_created_on)
);

CREATE TABLE bar         


        

Answer 1

You have to create separate foreign keys:

CREATE TABLE bar (
  id SERIAL,
  bar_created_on ABSTIME,
  bar_deactivated_on ABSTIME,
  foo_id INT,
  FOREIGN KEY (foo_id, created_on) REFERENCES foo (id, created_on),
  PRIMARY KEY (id, bar_created_on)
);
