This is an example of the error we are seeing from our application. Sorry,
I cannot find the postgresql log entry for this one.

The tables are involved are
CREATE TABLE mach ( machid serial, constraint mach_pkey primary key
(machid) ... );
CREATE TABLE pollgrpinfo ( pollgrpid serial, constraint pollgrpinfo_pkey
primary key (pollgrpid),
         machid    int4 NOT NULL, constraint mach_exists FOREIGN
KEY(machid) REFERENCES mach ON DELETE CASCADE, ... );
CREATE TABLE poll ( pollid serial, constraint poll_pkey primary key
(pollid),
        pollgrpid int4 not null, constraint pollgrp_exists FOREIGN
KEY(pollgrpid) REFERENCES pollgrpinfo (pollgrpid) ON DELETE CASCADE, ...);
CREATE TABLE status ( statusid serial, constraint status_pkey primary key
(statusid),
        pollid int4 not null, constraint poll_exists FOREIGN KEY(pollid)
REFERENCES poll ON DELETE CASCADE, ...);

We are updating the entire status table every 5 minutes with
BEGIN;
UPDATE status SET () WHERE pollid = $1;
COMMIT;

The issue is arriving when some does a DELETE during the UPDATE of status
DELETE FROM mach WHERE machid=$1;

I don't know if this sheds any more light on it.
