I recently had cause to use a deferred foreign key constraint for the first time. I like it. It seems it could make life simpler, especially when an obstinate ORM insists on doing things in the wrong order.

The only downside I can see is it may be harder to track down where a violation occurred since the error won't be raised until commit.

Are there any other downsides to just setting all my foreign keys to initially deferred?

Thanks.
