If you're trying to temporarily violate the not-null constraint.. I don't know if it's a good idea.. ..but maybe this feature in v12 helps you: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-altertable.html | Ordinarily this is checked during the ALTER TABLE by scanning the entire table; however, if a valid CHECK constraint is found which proves no NULL can exist, then the table scan is skipped. When you're done violating constraints, you can ALTER .. ADD CONSTRAINT .. CHECK (.. IS NOT NULL) NOT VALID, and then ALTER .. VALIDATE CONSTRAINT, and then ALTER column SET NOT NULL. -- Justin
