Has there been any discussion about including it in future releases? Just to be clear, deferring constraint enforcement would allow me to do the following: Have tables A and B: both have a foreign key relationship to the other. Both have foreign key constraints that relate to each other. Deferring would allow me create both these records. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to create either. Searching thru the source for the word defer came across a couple of hits, but from a quick glance they seem to be for support for the jdbc driver. keep up the great work scott ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
