Re: getting all constraint violations

Is there a way to temporarily suspend constraint checking for a particular constraint inside of the transaction, try
theinsert again, capture the next violation, then the next, etc... then rollback after all have been collected?

Iget back lists the first violation. How cani I (or can I) get them all? 

You can't, it stops running the command at the first error.
