You could install a trigger before step 1 which prevents INSERTs and UPDATEs which would add even more rows violating the constraint. I'm not sure if the DELETE will actually do anything, given that pg_attribute says that the column cannot be NULL. -- Florian Weimer <fwei...@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
