Taking a different tangent ...

Is there anything in the SQL standards about NOT NULL constraints being deferrable?

To my mind we should not consider implementing non-standard behaviour, but if something is in the standard I can't see why it shouldn't be implemented, esp. when there is no compulsion for it to be used.
