I have most (if not all) of my constraint defined with the DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED clause. I have done this as I have not a direct control on the order of the SQL statements that the Cayenne library sends to the server, and this will avoid all the constraint violations inside a single transaction. How can I try to isolate the trigger taking so long, in oder to understand which is/are the missing index(es)?
