Actually there seems to be an ancillary issue here:
21809=# truncate exception;
ERROR: TRUNCATE cannot be used as table exception_notice_map references
this one via foreign key constraint $1
21809=# TRUNCATE exception_notice_map ;
TRUNCATE TABLE
21809=# truncate exception;
ERROR: TRUNCATE cannot be used as table exception_notice_map references
this one via foreign key constraint $1
21809=# select count(*) from exception_notice_map;count
------- 0
