Yes, I think it was what I wanted.
And how I check if a register in "Transfer" table is only referenciable by ONE
table (OR "output" OR "input")?? Would I create a Trigger like:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION TG_output_check() RETURNS TRIGGER AS
$$ BEGIN IF exists (select 1 from input where transfer_id=NEW.transfer_id) THEN Raise Exception 'This activity
(transfer)is alread setted to INPUT'; END IF; RETURN NEW; END;
$$ language 'plpgsql'; CREATE TRIGGER TG_output_check BEFORE INSERT or UPDATE
on OUTPUT EXECUTE PROCEDURE TG_output_check();
CREATE or REP...--- and the some function to INPUT ---
Or is there another way to check it?
Thank you again.
