foreign-key constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key

merely upgrading will not fix the problem. If you need to fix this

but we patched earlier versions as well in case there are other code
paths that could trigger the same bug.

self-referential foreign keys (Tom Lane)

> For a cascading foreign key that references its own table, a row update
will fire both the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ON UPDATE</TT

<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CHECK</TT

CLASS="LITERAL"

trigger must execute first, else the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CHECK</TT

non-final state of the row and possibly throw an inappropriate error.
However, the firing order of these triggers is determined by their
names, which generally sort in creation order since the triggers have
auto-generated names following the convention
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"RI_ConstraintTrigger_NNNN"</SPAN
>. A proper fix would require
modifying that convention, which we will do in 9.2, but it seems risky
to change it in existing releases. So this patch just changes the
creation order of the triggers. Users encountering this type of error
should drop and re-create the foreign key constraint to get its
triggers into the right order.
