Isn't it *supposed* to mis UNcommitted changes from other transactions?
Well, if the "uncommited change" is a DELETE of the row that allowed the constraint check to pass, then when this delete is commited, your data is no longer consistent.

The DELETE should block, no?

    Why ?

Foreign keys put an ON DELETE trigger on the referenced table

Foreign keys that silently, automatic DELETE records?

Did I read that correctly?

besides checking the referencing column on insert/update... If you just implement a constraint, you only get half the functionality.

But when I define a FK *constraint*, that's all I *want*!
