Sorry, there are no deferrable check constraints in Postgres. We only handle deferrable foreign keys (8.5 will have deferrable unique also). By and large there isn't any good reason that I can see for a deferrable check constraint --- you might as well check the row when it goes in. (If you are trying something cute that depends on the timing of the check, be advised that it probably wouldn't work reliably anyway.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
