Hmm, I tried a very simple setup like this:
create table master (id integer primary key, data text);
create table child (id integer primary key, master_id integer not null
references master on update set null);
insert into master (id, data)
values
(1,'one'),
(2,'two'),
(3,'three');
then in one transaction I do:
update master
set data = 'bar'
where id = 1;
and in a second transaction I run:
insert into child
(id, master_id)
values
(1, 1);
But the second transaction does not wait for the UPDATE to finish.
So I guess it must be a bit more complicated then that.
