I've got a Master-Detail edit page where the user can add and delete detail records. One of the detail fields has a UNIQUE constraint on it.

If I delete a detail record and then add a new one with the same unique key and save, it causes a constraint violation in the database. Looking at the generated SQL, it is executing the INSERT before the DELETE, even though the delete happened first. Why is this happening?

What database are you using? Some databases can defer asserting the constraints until commit. That's probably what you want. Alternatively, there is a WO api that allows you to manually order the SQL operations.

Best to create the constraints as DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED when you create the table. Barring that there should be a class to order these on www.wocode.com, or if not there, Project Wonder must have one.
