CREATE TABLE metrics (id int8 PRIMARY KEY,
                      ts timestamptz, 
                      device_id integer,
                      val float);
INSERT INTO metrics VALUES (101, '2024-08-06', 1, 123);
SELECT create_hypertable('metrics', 'id', chunk_time_interval=>100, migrate_data=>true);

CREATE TABLE notes (metrics_id integer REFERENCES metrics(id) ON DELETE CASCADE, msg text);
INSERT INTO notes values (101, 'test');

-- fails here
SELECT _timescaledb_functions.drop_chunk('_timescaledb_internal._hyper_2_7_chunk');

Output:

SELECT _timescaledb_functions.drop_chunk('_timescaledb_internal._hyper_2_7_chunk');
ERROR:  cannot drop constraint 7_6_metrics_pkey on table _timescaledb_internal._hyper_2_7_chunk because other objects depend on it
DETAIL:  constraint notes_metrics_id_fkey on table notes depends on index _timescaledb_internal."7_6_metrics_pkey"
HINT:  Use DROP ... CASCADE to drop the dependent objects too.
