Description
Understanding dependency tracking in PostgreSQL is crucial to maintaining data integrity. PostgreSQL prevents the accidental removal of objects that other database elements depend on, ensuring stability in your schema.

🔹 Foreign Key Dependency Example
When a table has a foreign key linking to another table, PostgreSQL enforces referential integrity. Attempting to drop a referenced table results in an error unless CASCADE is used. Example:

DROP TABLE products;

🚫 ERROR: Cannot drop table because other objects depend on it.

To resolve this, use:

DROP TABLE products CASCADE;

This removes dependencies but may cause unintended deletions.

🔹 Handling Dependencies with CASCADE & RESTRICT
By default, PostgreSQL applies RESTRICT, preventing deletions if dependencies exist. Using CASCADE automatically removes dependent objects.

DROP TABLE products RESTRICT;

This fails if dependencies exist.

🔹 Function Dependency Tracking
Functions depend on types and tables, but PostgreSQL may not always track table dependencies inside function bodies.

Example: A function referencing an ENUM type will prevent deletion of the type:

DROP TYPE rainbow;

🚫 ERROR: Function depends on the type.

However, functions using BEGIN ATOMIC will track table dependencies and enforce stricter integrity rules.

✅ Summary
✔ PostgreSQL prevents object deletion if dependencies exist.
✔ CASCADE allows automatic removal but should be used cautiously.
✔ Functions track type dependencies but may not track table dependencies unless written in SQL-standard format.
✔ RESTRICT ensures safer deletions by blocking actions that break dependencies.
