Patch to implement the proposed feature attached, for CFJan2011.
Overall, I think the patch looks good, but I found some problems with
it. In tablecmds.c you have:
+ if (found && con->contype == CONSTR_FOREIGN && !con->convalidated)
which I don't think is correct, and my tests seem to agree; the actual
validation doesn't happen at all. Changing that to CONSTRAINT_FOREIGN
makes the validation part work, but then I get:
ERROR: cache lookup failed for constraint 16419
when trying to drop the table and the regression tests fail because of
this. Also having a regression test where the validation fails seems
like a good idea.
Another problem I found is that psql doesn't indicate in any way that a
FOREIGN KEY constraint is not validated yet.
I also think that having the function for getting a list of values that
violate the constraint would be helpful. Any particular reason why you
decided to omit it from this patch?

Marko Tiikkaja
