Are there any plans to implement deferrable unique constraints?
I have two identical tables a1 and a2. Each of them has a primary key 'id' and unique constraint on 'prod' and 'code'.
Now, imagine the following situation:
a1:
id prod code
1 1 abc1
2 1 abc2
a2:
id prod code
1 1 abc2
2 1 abc1
Basically, a1 and a2 have code values swapped.
Now, I want to update 'code' values in table a1 with values from table a2 relying on equal 'id' values. This throws a 'can not insert duplicate value' exception.
Is there a way to deal with this situation? I would prefer not to update 'id' values based on 'prod' and 'code' values though.
Thanks.
Oleg
