You should do the select. The database will effectively do a select anyway,
to do the constraint check, you are not introducing much overhead.
There are certain databases, and certain drivers, that will not tolerate
any data exception inside a transaction, and will mark the whole
transaction as "roll back only" should any data exception occur.
