You can disable foreign-key constraints (see ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE TRIGGER; not quite obvious, but there is a trigger beneath each foreign key constraint). But there is no general solution for all constraints and indexes. It might also be helpful to investigate the order in which pg_dump puts out things, since it faces mostly the same issues. It puts index and constraint creation at the end after the data load. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
