1367835380 I_kwDOCGYnMM5Rh4L0 487 Specify foreign key against compound key in other table 540968 closed 0     2 2022-09-09T13:32:09Z 2022-09-11T04:00:44Z 2022-09-11T04:00:44Z NONE  

When inserting rows via the library, is it possible to specify a foreign key to a compound primary key?

For example, suppose I create a table: db = Database('events.db') db['events'].insert_all([ {'venue': 'Times Square', 'date': '2022-12-31', 'title': 'Rockin New Year Eve'}, {'venue': 'Wembley Stadium', 'date': '2022-06-05', 'title': 'FA Cup'}, {'venue': 'Times Square', 'date': '2021-12-31', 'title': 'Rockin New Year Eve'}, ], pk=('date', 'venue'))

And I want to add related data in another table: act = {'name': 'Rick Astley', 'venue': 'Times Square', 'date': '2021-12-31' } db['performers'].insert(act, pk=<???>)

Is it possible to specify a value for pk that will point to the compound primary key in events?

SQLite does support it: https://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html#fk_composite
