I want to understand inheritance in postgresql, simple whitch columns in whitch tables.
CREATE TABLE users (
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
username VARCHAR UNIQUE NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR NOT NULL,
password_salt VARCHAR,
password_hash VARCHAR,
avatar serial
)
CREATE TABLE groups (
id serial PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR,
email VARCHAR,
avatar serial,
)
CREATE TABLE accounts (
id serial PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR,
avatar serial,
rating json NOT NULL,
);
CREATE TABLE users_to_accounts (
id serial PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
start_time DATETIME NOT NULL,
end_time DATETIME,
)
CREATE TABLE account_subscryptions (
user_id serial NOT NULL,
account_id serial NOT NULL,
) INHERITS users_to_accounts
CREATE TABLE account_memberships (
user_id serial NOT NULL,
account_id serial NOT NULL,
) INHERITS users_to_accounts
CREATE TABLE users_to_groups (
id serial PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
start_time DATETIME NOT NULL,
end_time DATETIME,
)
CREATE TABLE group_subscryptions (
user_id serial NOT NULL,
group_id serial NOT NULL,
) INHERITS users_to_groups
CREATE TABLE group_memberships (
user_id serial NOT NULL,
group_id serial NOT NULL,
) INHERITS users_to_groups
Now.
1. Is it good design to have foreign keys in child tables an all common data in "abstract" table?
2. Is there any traps in future changes of database with inherited relantion tables?
3. I am all wrong and there is a better way for this schema?
4. I want to create good database schema and generate graphql api in postgraphile, looking in google for half day, did not gave me any one good or best solution, so every link will by great.
It may be usefull for others, I think. Thanks
Here's my script.

The problem is the fk relationships specified in alter table statement is not being created

NOTE THAT: There's no existing tables on the said Schema I have made. What have I missed?
I think you have two ways of doing this.
The first one: don't run one create schema statement, but run individual statements for each part (this is what I prefer). You can still do that as a single transaction:
begin transaction;
CREATE SCHEMA testSchema; -- only create the namespace
-- make the new schema the default schema
-- so the the tables do not need to be full qualified
set search_path = testschema;
create table REF_PRODUCT (
...
);
create table TXN_LINE_ITEM (
...
);
create table TXN_PRODUCT_PICTURE (
...
);
create table TXN_TRANSACTION_RECORD (
...
);
alter table REF_PRODUCT
add constraint fk_product_picture
foreign key (picture_id)
references TXN_PRODUCT_PICTURE;
alter table TXN_LINE_ITEM
add constraint FK_line_item_trans_record
foreign key (transactionRecord_id)
references TXN_TRANSACTION_RECORD;
create table SEQ_ENTITY_ID (
sequence_name varchar(255),
sequence_next_hi_value int4
);
commit;
The other option is to move the foreign keys into the table definition, but then you need to re-order your create table statements:
CREATE SCHEMA testSchema
create table TXN_PRODUCT_PICTURE (
...
)
create table TXN_TRANSACTION_RECORD (
...
)
create table REF_PRODUCT (
...,
constraint fk_product_picture
foreign key (picture_id)
references TXN_PRODUCT_PICTURE
)
create table TXN_LINE_ITEM (
...
constraint FK_line_item_trans_record
foreign key (transactionRecord_id)
references TXN_TRANSACTION_RECORD
)
create table SEQ_ENTITY_ID (
sequence_name varchar(255),
sequence_next_hi_value int4
)
;
Unrelated, but:
What is this SEQ_ENTITY_ID table for? Why don't you use native Postgres sequences. They will be much faster, more scalable and more robust than anything you can do in your application to generate unique numbers
I want to create a table in a PostgreSQL database to store user data (Account info, contact info, geographical info). I have typed out the following SQL and I am wondering is it acceptable for PostgreSQL (in terms of best practices, data types, and lengths)?
CREATE TABLE users (
userID SERIAL,
username VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
active VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
lenderAcct BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE,
resetToken VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
resetComplete VARCHAR(3) DEFAULT 'No',
CONSTRAINT users_pk PRIMARY KEY (userID),
firstName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
middleName VARCHAR(20),
lastName VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
primaryPhone VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
primaryPhoneExt VARCHAR(10),
altPhone VARCHAR(50),
altPhoneExt VARCHAR(10),
fax VARCHAR(50),
legalAddress1 VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
legalAddress2 VARCHAR(25),
legalCity VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
legalState VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
legalZip VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
legalCountry VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
mailAddress1 VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
mailAddress2 VARCHAR(25),
mailCity VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
mailState VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
mailZip VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
mailCountry VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL
);
The PostgreSQL side of the table looks ok. You could consider changing the varchar(x) types to text (check out this answer). The PRIMARY KEY can be introduced as userID SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, ... although this has no effect on the table structure.
Best practises cannot be commented on more without knowing your full table structure but those considerations are mostly not PostgreSQL specific anyway.
Here's is the table :
create table Student(
student_id char(6) primary key,
name varchar(10) not null,
department char(20),
grade char(6),
percentage smallint,
contact_no char(12),
address varchar(50)
);
This is what I'm inserting :
insert into Student
values ('ST-01','Zain','coe','A+',74,'9999777865','New Delhi');
Why ORA-00913: too many values error when I'm not inserting extra values ?
