Well, I'm still at a guess what could cause the problem on the kind of
query I was executing (a "delete"). Kris' explanation with the deferred
trigger was the closest till now, except the trigger was not deferred,
and truncate still succeded with the "ON DELETE" trigger in place... so
I wonder now if there is some problem with the backend ? Maybe I should
post on the general list.
Cheers,
Csaba.
