How do I avoid chicken and egg problems?

Dialect: Oracle
Say If I have a table which defines a foreign key constraint on another table which itself does not yet exist? I cant create such a table as I keep getting an exception

Dialect: Oracle
You can use deferrable constraint checking in this scenario

Code:

CREATE TABLE chicken(chickenID INT PRIMARY KEY, eggID INT);
CREATE TABLE egg(eggID INT PRIMARY KEY, chickenID INT);

Then, we add foreign key constraints:

ALTER TABLE chicken ADD CONSTRAINT chicken_gg
    FOREIGN KEY (eggID) REFERENCES egg(eggID)
    INITIALLY DEFERRED DEFERRABLE;
ALTER TABLE egg ADD CONSTRAINT egg_chicken
    FOREIGN KEY (chickenID) REFERENCES chicken(chickenID)
    INITIALLY DEFERRED DEFERRABLE;

After creating deferrable constraint checking, Oracle (or any other dbserver) will check constraints only on commit events.
