If e.g. there is a cha= in of foreign key constraints between tables, insert statements have to be = ordered to avoid constraint violations. If foreign key references are circu= lar, the DML has to be split into insert statements and subsequent update s= tatements by the user. > In other words, with deferred constraints checking, life is much easier f= or the user. Also it can create problems with softwares such as object-rela= tional mapping tools that are not prepared for statement ordering and thus = depend on deferred constraints checking. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
