Is it OK to perform a fetch during validateForInsert:/ validateForUpdate:? I have a Core Data entity named 'Person' with an attribute named 'uniqueNumber'. I want to ensure that no two People have the same uniqueNumber.
It's not a great idea during validateForDelete: It fine during validateForInsert or validateForUpdate so long as the awakeFromFetch delegates and any other side effects (changes on the MOC or dirtying MOs) of fetching eventually reach a quiescent state. The canonical example of failing to do so is to update a timestamp in -willSave to the current time. Blindly. Without checking if it's already set, or equal. We'll save when the current time stops changing ...
