Hi, I'm not sure how best to handle this situation. The tables in a database need to be completely cleared and copy'ed into about every few months, as they are updated with new records and corrections from a provider. Because the tables have foreign key constraints with 'ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT', it's not possible to DELETE them without violating these constraints. I've been dropping the constraints while doing these transactions and then recreating them once everything is done, but this has gotten tedious. Is there some way to "disable" the foreign keys and enabling them after the transactions? Thanks.
might be faster to just drop the tables and recreate them. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
