I am not following, update_rule is just a field in
information_schema.referential_constraints, how is it any harder then
delete_rule?
The issue from what I understand is that
information_schema.referential_constraints does not have a table_name
field to constrain the information to a particular table. This leads
back to the overriding question, what is the purpose of the query? I
suspect it for use by the framework to set up attributes of a model
based on a table, is that correct?
