Mike, it is better to think of database rows as immutable tuples.  During the 
course of a query the contents of the database are considered static - hence 
all that locking and kvetching about this or that database not having "true" 
foreign key support.  If database rows were mutable the results of a JOIN could 
be nonsensical.
