> 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.
