Problem with SET CONSTRAINTS ALL DEFERRED;



Hi Friends,

I am trying to postpone the foreign key constraint check till the end of transaction but it doesn't work.
Can anyone help me with a tip what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

test=# SET CONSTRAINTS ALL DEFERRED;

test=# DELETE FROM picture
test-# USING element_picture test-# WHERE picture.id = element_picture.picture_id test-# AND element_picture.element_id = 8; ERROR: update or delete on "picture" violates foreign key constraint "picture_id" on "element_picture"
DETAIL:  Key (id)=(223) is still referenced from table "element_picture".


select version();
