Isn't it *supposed* to mis UNcommitted changes from other transactions?
Well, if the "uncommited change" is a DELETE of the row that allowed the constraint check to pass, then when this delete is commited, your data is no longer consistent.

The DELETE should block, no?

	Why ?

Foreign keys put an ON DELETE trigger on the referenced table besides checking the referencing column on insert/update... If you just implement a constraint, you only get half the functionality.
