Hi,
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createtable.html says,
down at the explanation of DEFERRABLE, that constraints are checked
after every command. Why does the following not work then:
CREATE TABLE foo ( pos INT UNIQUE
);
INSERT INTO foo (pos) VALUES (1);
INSERT INTO foo (pos) VALUES (2);
UPDATE foo SET pos = CASE WHEN pos = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 2 END;
ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "foo_pos_key"
Also, are deferrable constraints other that FK constraints in the works?
I also noticed, that the docs don't state whether INITIALLY IMMEDIATE or
INITIALLY DEFERRED is the default.
Thanks.
