As long as we are relaxing a constraint, we are OK if an earlier snapshot thinks its dealing with a tighter constraint whereas the new reality is a relaxed constraint. The worst that could happen is we hit an ERROR from a constraint that was in force at the start of the query, so for consistency we really should be enforcing the same constraint throughout the lifetime of the query. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
