Is there a way to add a foreign key constraint without having to wait for it to check the consistency of all existing records? If a database is being reloaded (pg_dumpall then load), it really shouldn't be necessary to check the referential integrity - or at least I should be able to stipulate that I am accepting that risk. My database reload is currently taking about 6 hours to load the data, 42 hours to reindex, and about another 40 hours or so to check the foreign key constraints (about 1.2 billion rows). That's a very long time to be out of commission. I'd really like to eliminate that second 40 hours so I can get it down to a normal weekend. Wes
