Hi all, we're running a few Pg databases in production.

We recently started looking into a long standing ticket to change some
foreign keys referential actions from CASCADE to RESTRICT for our own
safety. Everything else in the FK stays the same.
The problem is that running a query like the one bellow takes an
exclusive lock for too long (order of minutes in some tables when
testing against a backup db).
ALTER TABLE "partneracl"
DROP CONSTRAINT "partneracl_partner_fkey",
ADD CONSTRAINT "partneracl_partner_fkey"
FOREIGN KEY ("partner")
REFERENCES "partner"("name");
Is there any way to change the foreign key referential actions quickly
and/or without an exclusive lock?
Are there indexes on the child columns?
Is it safe(ish) to just update pg_constraint.confupdtype and
pg_constraint.confdeltype for those?
