Yes, that's true. There is no built-in referential integrity in
PostgresSQL. Anyway there are two "external" functions in the contrib/spi
directory which implement the referential integrity.
You can use these functions via triggers.
All the docs and the sources are in the contrib/spi dir in the source code
distribution (v6.4), I don't remember if they are also available in the
v6.3 source code distibution.
