If I have tables

table chicken : { Id : int, Egg : int }
      PRIMARY KEY (Id),
      CONSTRAINT egg FOREIGN KEY Egg REFERENCES egg(Id)

table egg : { Id : int, Chicken : int }
      PRIMARY KEY (Id),
      CONSTRAINT chicken FOREIGN KEY Chicken REFERENCES chicken(Id)

Outside of Ur/Web this would be solved by setting the constraints
DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED and do the INSERTs pairwise inside a
single transaction.

I doubt that there currently is a way to do this in Ur/Web since there
is neither a way to specify DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED nor a way to
explicitly form transactions.

Would it be enough to introduce an operator

dml_sequence : dml -> dml -> dml

allowing two dml statements to be composed and run in a single
transaction together with exposing DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED at
the Ur/Web language level?

Best regards,

Marko
