I've got some tables defined as: create table xx ( some_column references master_table
It means this column is defined by default: NOT DEFERRABLE, INITIALLY IMMEDIATE
I tried replacing rows in this table by new ones as: set autocommit=off; begin; set constraints all deferred; delete from .... insert ... insert... commit; I get "integrity violation"... just after "delete"
If I well understood manual, it works like it should. I'm not sure, because if I run this query in pgAdmin2, it works fine (why?) and replaces rows as needed.
When I drop this foreign key constraint (not too easy without a constraint name) and recreate it as "DEFERRABLE", this query works fine also in psql.
My question is: Why my query works fine when using pgAdmin, and it fails when using psql?
