Syntax: IMMEDIATE | ON This option causes constraint evaluation to be executed immediately, when the statement completes. ON is synonymous with IMMEDIATE. When you issue a SET ALL CONSTRAINTS IMMEDIATE statement, SQL: o Evaluates all previously deferred constraints (those that would otherwise be evaluated at a COMMIT statement) o Sets a mode in which SQL evaluates any constraints selected for deferred evaluation by the execution of an SQL statement at the end of that SQL statement (instead of waiting for a COMMIT statement) Once the transaction completes, the constraint mode is set back to the default constraint mode for subsequent statements.
