Le mot magique est REPORTABLE ici:
DROP TABLE ztable CASCADE;
CREATE TABLE ztable
( id integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
, payload varchar
);
INSERT INTO ztable(id,payload) VALUES (1,'one' ), (2,'two' ), (3,'three' );
SELECT * FROM ztable;
-- This works, because there is no constraint
UPDATE ztable t1
SET payload=t2.payload
FROM ztable t2
WHERE t1.id IN (2,3)
AND t2.id IN (2,3)
AND t1.id <> t2.id
;
SELECT * FROM ztable;
ALTER TABLE ztable ADD CONSTRAINT OMG_WTF UNIQUE (payload)
DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED
;
-- This should also work, because the constraint
-- is deferred until "commit time"
UPDATE ztable t1
SET payload=t2.payload
FROM ztable t2
WHERE t1.id IN (2,3)
AND t2.id IN (2,3)
AND t1.id <> t2.id
