Determines when foreign key integrity is checked, as data is manipulated.

Allowed values

On, Off

Default

Off

Scope

Can be set for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC group. Takes effect immediately.

Remarks

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