ADR-022: Composite foreign keys for node references
Status
Accepted
Context
Edges reference source and target nodes. A simple sourceNodeId FK would work but doesn't capture the composite key model.
Decision
Edges reference nodes via composite FKs: (graphId, sourceNodeKey) → (nodes.graphId, nodes.key). This ensures referential integrity within a graph and cascades node deletions to connected edges.
Consequences
- Deleting a node cascades to all its edges
- Edges cannot reference nodes in a different graph
- Composite FKs match the metagraph identity model
(graphId, key)
