`Table Dialog`:index:
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
Use the *Table* dialog to create or modify a table.
|
|
|
|
The *Table* dialog organizes the development of a table through the following
|
|
dialog tabs: *General*, *Columns*, *Constraints*, *Advanced*, *Parition*, *Parameter*, and
|
|
*Security*. The *SQL* tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.

:align: center
|
|
|
|
Use the fields in the *General* tab to identify the table:
|
|
|
|
* Use the *Name* field to add a descriptive name for the table. A table cannot
|
|
have the same name as any existing table, sequence, index, view, foreign
|
|
table, or data type in the same schema. The name specified will be displayed
|
|
in the *pgAdmin* tree control. This field is required.
|
|
* Select the owner of the table from the drop-down listbox in the *Owner* field.
|
|
By default, the owner of the table is the role that creates the table.
|
|
* Select the name of the schema in which the table will reside from the
|
|
drop-down listbox in the *Schema* field.
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox in the *Tablespace* field to specify the tablespace
|
|
in which the table will be stored.
|
|
* Move the *Partitioned Table?* switch to the *Yes* in case you want to create a
|
|
partitioned table. Option is available for PostgreSQL 10 and above.
|
|
* Store notes about the table in the *Comment* field.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Columns* tab to continue.

|
Use the drop-down listbox next to *Inherited from table(s)* to specify any
|
|
parent table(s); the table will inherit columns from the selected parent
|
|
table(s). Click inside the *Inherited from table(s)* field to select a table
|
|
name from a drop-down list. Repeat to add any other parent tables. Delete a
|
|
selected table by clicking the *x* to the left of the parent name. Note that
|
|
inherited column names and datatypes are not editable in the current dialog;
|
|
they must be modified at the parent level.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Add* icon (+) to specify the names of columns and their datatypes in
|
|
the *Columns* table:
|
|
|
|
* Use the *Name* field to add a descriptive name for the column.
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox in the *Data type* field to select a data type for
|
|
the column. This can include array specifiers. For more information on the
|
|
data types supported by PostgreSQL, refer to Chapter 8 of the core
|
|
documentation.
|
|
* If enabled, use the *Length/Precision* and *Scale* fields to specify the
|
|
maximum number of significant digits in a numeric value, or the maximum
|
|
number of characters in a text value.
|
|
* Move the *Not NULL?* switch to the *Yes* position to require a value in the
|
|
column field.
|
|
* Move the *Primary key?* switch to the *Yes* position to specify the column is
|
|
the primary key constraint.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Add* icon (+) to add additional columns; to discard a column, click
|
|
the trash icon to the left of the row and confirm deletion in the *Delete Row*
|
|
popup.

Use the fields in the *Constraints* tab to provide a table or column constraint.
|
|
Optional constraint clauses specify constraints (tests) that new or updated rows
|
|
must satisfy for an *INSERT* or *UPDATE* operation to succeed. Select the
|
|
appropriate constraint type by selecting one of the following tabs on the
|
|
*Constraints* panel:
|
|
|
|

|
constraints must be distinct.
|
|
* Select the name of the tablespace in which the primary key constraint will
|
|
reside from the drop-down listbox in the *Tablespace* field.
|
|
* Use the *Fill Factor* field to specify a fill factor for the table and index.
|
|
The fill factor for a table is a percentage between 10 and 100. 100 (complete
|
|
packing) is the default.
|
|
* Move the *Deferrable?* switch to the *Yes* position to specify the timing of

|
|
:class: longtable
|
|
:widths: 1 4
|
|
|
|
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| NO ACTION | Produce an error indicating that the deletion or update will create a foreign key constraint violation. |
|
|
| | If the constraint is deferred, this error will be produced at constraint check time if any referencing |
|
|
| | rows still exist. This is the default. |
|
|
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| RESTRICT | Throw an error indicating that the deletion or update would create a foreign key constraint violation. |
|
|
| | This is the same as NO ACTION except that the check is not deferrable. |
|
|
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| CASCADE | Delete any rows referencing the deleted row, or update the values of the referencing column(s) to the new |
|
|
| | values of the referenced columns, respectively. |
|
|
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| SET NULL | Set the referencing column(s) to null. |
|
|
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| SET DEFAULT | Set the referencing column(s) to their default values. There must be a row in the referenced table |
|
|
