On https://github.com/calebmer/postgraphql the author shows a schema:
create table post (
id serial primary key,
author_id int non null references user(id),
headline text,
body text,
…
);
How would I have to rewrite the schema if I would like to cite multiple authors and reference them using an array?
Would it be: author_id int[] non null references user(id)
?
You can. But you must not.
with a check constraint
You can add a check constraint with a function that controls that.
Disadvantage: It's not a foreign key
with a trigger and an auxiliar table
You can add a table
post_author
and populate it with aOn insert or update
trigger.Disadvantage: It's triky and duplicates info.
