下面书写方式,推荐第二种,比较清晰。 CREATE TABLE products ( product_no integer PRIMARY KEY, name text, price numeric ); CREATE TABLE example ( a integer, b integer, c integer, PRIMARY KEY (a, c) );
下面第前两种写法不推荐。第三、四种写法较清晰。 1. 第一种书写方式 CREATE TABLE orders ( order_id integer PRIMARY KEY, product_no integer REFERENCES products, quantity integer ); 2. 第二种书写方式 CREATE TABLE orders ( order_id integer PRIMARY KEY, product_no integer REFERENCES products (product_no), quantity integer ); 3. 第三种书写方式 CREATE TABLE table1 ( a integer PRIMARY KEY, b integer, c integer, FOREIGN KEY (b, c) REFERENCES other_table (c1, c2) ); 4. 第四种书写方式,在SQL脚本最后面添加外键约束 Alter table "groupmember" add foreign key ("uid") references "user" ("id") on update restrict on delete restrict; Alter table "groupmember" add foreign key ("gid") references "group" ("id") on update restrict on delete restrict; Alter table "rolemember" add foreign key ("uid") references "user" ("id") on update restrict on delete restrict; Alter table "rolemember" add foreign key ("rid") references "role" ("id") on update restrict on delete restrict; 3.9.3 PostgreSQL 7.3.x 新增功能 CREATE TABLE order_items ( product_no integer REFERENCES products ON DELETE RESTRICT, order_id integer REFERENCES orders ON DELETE CASCADE, quantity integer, PRIMARY KEY (product_no, order_id) ); 类似 ON DELETE,还有 ON UPDATE 选项,它是在主键被修改(更新)的时候调用的。 以前我们删除其它表中受外键约束的记录,使用规则或触发器来完成。现可以用CASCADE
