WAIT_FOR_COMMIT Option

Allowed Values

ON, OFF

Default

OFF

Scope

Option can be set at the database (PUBLIC) or user level. When set at the database level, the value becomes the default for any new user, but has no impact on existing users. When set at the user level, overrides the PUBLIC value for that user only. No system privilege is required to set option for self. System privilege is required to set at database level or at user level for any user other than self.

Requires the SET ANY PUBLIC OPTION system privilege to set this option. Can be set temporary for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC role. Takes effect immediately.

Description

If this option is set to ON, the database does not check foreign key integrity until the next COMMIT statement. Otherwise, all foreign keys not created with the CHECK ON COMMIT option are checked as they are inserted, updated, or deleted.
