What I Did.
I updated the pg_constraint table and set the condeferrable column to
't' where the contype was 'f' for foriegn key. I also updated the
pg_trigger table and set tgdeferrable to 't' where tgisconstraint was
't'.
The transaction that I was trying to defer worked perfectly. I also did
a pg_dump and noticed that the definition of the constraints now
contained the keyword deferrable.
I am still not sure if this is an accepted method.
---
I have a situation where I need to set my constraints and keys
deferrable. Is it safe to update the condeferrable flag in
pg_constraint to true to make this happen? The alternative is to drop
all the constraints and add them back as deferrable.
