----------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, thanks. I understand. I'll have a look at such an implementation, too. I
shouldn't be too hard to check right after the insert with a read-only scan for
"v", but I'd like to avoid saving all inserts with the pessimistic assumption
they are all duplicates).

> In many situations it is desirable to have constraints checking taking place
> only at transaction commit time, and not before. If e.g. there is a chain of
> foreign key constraints between tables, insert statements have to be ordered
> to avoid constraint violations. If foreign key references are circular, the
> DML has to be split into insert statements and subsequent update statements
> by the user.
> In other words, with deferred constraints checking, life is much easier for
> the user. Also it can create problems with softwares such as
> object-relational mapping tools that are not prepared for statement ordering
> and thus depend on deferred constraints checking.
