Environment

(Optional - If Applicable)

• PosgreSQL
• Confluence 5.7.4

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have Confluence 5.6.6
2. Alter the tables to DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED
3. Upgrade to Confluence 5.7.4

Expected Results

Upgrade successful

Actual Results

Upgrade unsuccessful with the following exception is thrown in the atlassian-confluence.log file:

[ALTER TABLE CONTENT add constraint  fk6382c05917d4a070 foreign key (PREVVER) references CONTENT(CONTENTID)]; SQL state [55006]; error code [0]; ERROR: cannot ALTER TABLE "content" because it has pending trigger events; nested exception is org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: cannot ALTER TABLE "content" because it has pending trigger events

Causes

The tables has a foreign constraint of DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED instead of DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE

Workaround

1. Change all the constraint to DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE so the checking will be performed after each statement.
   • Use the attached txt file to alter all the foreign key constraint to DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE alter constraint.txt.
2. Continue with the upgrade again.
