Hi folks,
This problem has been troubling me for quite sometime and
I would be very thankful for your help.
I have included the complete commented script to recreate the problem in
question.
The problem is inside a plpgsql function i do not see the records in the slave tables
getting deleted when i delete the corresponing referenced record from the master table.
But things as expected inside a Transaction at the PSQL prompt.
any help is very much appreciated.

-------------------- stuff in test_case.sql -----------------------
-- W A R N I N G
--- scripts will delete tables t_master and t_slave and a function t_test()
---
DROP TABLE t_master; --clean up stuff first.
DROP TABLE t_slave;
CREATE TABLE t_master (id integer primary key);
CREATE TABLE t_slave (id integer references t_master
on delete cascade on update cascade unique );
INSERT INTO t_master values (1);
INSERT INTO t_slave values (1);
-- Demonstrate that record in salve table do get
-- deleted when the master record is deleted.
BEGIN work;
delete from t_master where id=1;
select id from t_slave where id=1; -- <-- this selects returns no record.
ROLLBACK;
-- Same stuff tried inside a PL/PGSQL function...
DROP FUNCTION t_test();
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION t_test () RETURNS integer AS '
DECLARE rec RECORD;
BEGIN DELETE FROM t_master where id=1; SELECT INTO rec id from t_slave where id=1; -- <-- this selects
returnsrecord. RAISE NOTICE ''id in slave table is %'' , rec.id ; RETURN 1;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' ;
select t_test();
