I am working on a one time DB conversion project for a state government entity. I have a DB (8.1.7 on W2000 server) setup without the application SW that I am using to load the data into from flat files. When I get this data loaded I will then load it into the production tables at the client site. I will not be running any applications on this DB, it's for conversion purposes only. I am running into some constraint violation problems since I am loading the data to each table one at a time. Would it be prudent to disable the constraints until I get all the data loaded? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Ken
