Hi Friends,

I am trying to postpone the foreign key constraint check till the end of
transaction but it doesn't work.
Can anyone help me with a tip what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

test-# WHERE
picture.id = element_picture.picture_id

AND element_picture.element_id = 8;
ERROR: update or delete on "picture" violates foreign key constraint
"picture_id" on "element_picture"
DETAIL: Key (id)=(223) is still referenced from table "element_picture".
