<para>

<command>SET CONSTRAINTS</command> sets the behavior of constraint
|
||
|
evaluation in the current transaction. In
|
||
|
<option>IMMEDIATE</option> mode, constraints are checked at the end
|
||
|
of each statement. In <option>DEFERRED</option> mode, constraints
|
||
|
are not checked until transaction commit.

Upon creation, a constraint is always give one of three
|
||
|
characteristics: <option>INITIALLY DEFERRED</option>,
|
||
|
<option>INITIALLY IMMEDIATE DEFERRABLE</option>, or
|
||
|
<option>INITIALLY IMMEDIATE NOT DEFERRABLE</option>. The third
|
||
|
class is not affected by the <command>SET CONSTRAINTS</command>
|
||
|
command.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
Currently, only foreign key constraints are affected by this
|
||
|
setting. Check and unique constraints are always effectively
|
||
|
initially immediate not deferrable.
