Subject: How do I upsert depending on a second table?
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 15:36:53 -0500
Message-ID: <CAMfPbcbjTE6=yVJjAyiNU=kM24e-0oLo8S1ZZ7dJZy3UKq+b3g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Attempt:
```sql
CREATE TABLE org
(
    "name"      VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
    owner       VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE repo
(
    "id"           INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
    full_name      VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    org            VARCHAR(50)         NOT NULL REFERENCES org ("name")
);

INSERT INTO org(name, owner) VALUES ('org0', 'user0');

INSERT INTO repo (id, full_name, org)
VALUES (0, 'org0/name0 by wrong user', 'org0')
ON CONFLICT (full_name) DO UPDATE
    SET full_name = EXCLUDED.full_name,
        org       = EXCLUDED.org
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
              FROM org org_tbl
              WHERE org_tbl.name = EXCLUDED.org
                AND org_tbl.owner = 'wrong user')
RETURNING *;

SELECT * FROM repo WHERE id = 0;
```

This all succeeds. It should fail because the 'wrong user' is trying
to create a new—or update an existing—repo.

Thanks for all suggestions
