[Attachment, skipping...]
   WRT  the  primary key constraint, this should be considered a   "triggered data change  violation",  and  the
system should   already complain at the INSERT attempt's for p.
 
   We  don't  track  it that precise. So the error message isn't   the right one and  it  happens  too  late.  But  the
overall   transactional behaviour is correct.
