Can you elaborate on this? Am I doing something wrong in my app?
Someone on irc pointed out that this affects more than deferred
fk, but for my purposes, here's what's happening:
Table A has a primary key.
Table B references that primary key.
Process A periodically updates the table by doing
(basically) a delete all/insert new data, inside of
a transaction.
Process B is adding entries to table B.
If Process B happens in the "middle" of Process A,
the insert to B fails as it claims that the corresponding
row in table A does not exist.
Short of Process A grabbing an exclusive lock on the table, I
can't see a way around this. Feel free to punt this to
general if this is the expected behavior.
