Well I could turn off referential integrity, but this would defeat the whole purpose of having it. I'm looking more for when you are creating multiple records not having the constraint error get triggered (yes that is a bad word to use when discussing a DB :) ) until the transaction is committed. In Oracle this is something that is defined on the constraint.
