Hi Jörg,

I agree.

Currently attribute deferred applies to foreign-key and unique elements. 

Can you propose a specific metadata attribute or element that covers your use-case? 

Regards,

Craig

Hello,

if I'm not misteaken, it currently is not possible to have checking of "NOT NULL" constraints be deferred to commit-time. It's possible to have FK and unique constraints checking deferred, but not "NOT NULL" constraints.

"NOT NULL" constraints can result from primitive types being used, or an explicit "allows-null" in a column tag. There should be some way to turn these constraints into deferred constraints as well, IMHO, as any DDL generated by the implementation needs to be modified by hand in order to have them deferred.

Regards,
Jörg
