Create Foreign Key

In the todos table, the value of user_id column must be ideally present in the id column of users table. Otherwise, it would result in inconsistent data.

Postgres allows you to define foreign key constraint to enforce this condition.

Let's define one for the user_id column in todos table.

Head over to Console -> DATA -> todos -> Modify page.

It should look something like this:

Scroll down to Foreign Keys section at the bottom and click on Add.

• Select the Reference table as users
• Choose the From column as user_id and To column as id

We are enforcing that the user_id column of todos table must be one of the values of id in users table.

Click on Save to create the foreign key.

Great! Now you have ensured data consistency.
