In response to undeleteable records  (Tara Cooper <carat@pantz.com>)
List pgsql-general

What I noticed was that the select came up with one row, with an apparently
blank gift_certificate_id.  That field was declared as INT NOT NULL, yet it
shows up blank.  Wouldn't that indicate that something got in there that wasn't
supposed to?

Please don't send HTML mail to the lists...

I wonder whether you haven't got a foreign key relationship that forbids
the delete.  Or a miswritten user-defined ON DELETE trigger.
