I'm testing on converting a big Sybase db to Pg. It took about 45 hours
to convert all sybase tables (bcp) to Pg (copy) without index and
reference. After that I built the index (one by one, sequentially) and
it took about 25 hours and then I started to add the references (one by
one), however, it has been more than 30 hours and still has no sign of
finishing. I wonder, is there any suggestion that may speed up the index
and reference building (on Pg).
I think some additional information would be useful:
* pg version
* kernel version
* distribution

Here are the information :

Also, we have RAID10 with 600GB SAS drives 15000RPM
Another question here is that why building the reference will lock the
table for reading ? I mean why I cannot build two references at the
same time on the same reference table. Does the reference build just read ?
Thanks,
Gary
