I have a problem with this table in Postgres, it give me this error:
ERROR: cannot use subquery in check constraint LINE 66: check(Artista in(Select ID_Artista
create table DirigeF(
Artista int references Artista(ID_Artista) on delete cascade,
Film int references Film(ID_Contenuto) on delete cascade,
check(Artista in(Select ID_Artista
from Artista
where tipologia='REGISTA'or'AR')),
constraint DirigeF_PK primary key(Artista, Film)
);
I want to check that Artista in table DirigeF has tipologia='REGISTA' from another table.
As the error suggests, you cannot do this with a check constraint. One option is a trigger. Another is a foreign key constraint -- but that needs to be carefully arranged.
First you need a column that indicates whether the type in Artista
is "REGISTA" or "AR". That would be:
alter table artista add is_regista_ar bool generated always as
(tipologia in ('REGISTA', 'AR'));
Then create a unique constraint or index:
alter table artista add unq_artista_tipologia_id
unique (is_regista_ar, id_artista)
Note: This requires Postgres 12+. But something similar can be done in earlier versions.
Then, add a boolean column to your table that is always true
:
create table DirigeF (
Artista int references Artista(ID_Artista) on delete cascade,
Film int references Film(ID_Contenuto) on delete cascade,
is_regista_ar bool generated always as true,
constraint fk_artista_tipo_artista foreign key (is_regista_ar, Artista) references Artista(is_regista_ar, ID_Artista),
constraint DirigeF_PK primary key (Artista, Film)
);
