It sounds to me that the only solution to my case is executing DELETE FROM referenced_table and INSERT INTO referencing_table in seperate transactions. Please correct me if I am wrong. I also feel it might be a good idea to include an example like the one in my previous message in the documentation so that this question hopefully will not be asked repeatedly.
