I don't remember, to be honest.  ALTER TABLE ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT was /really fast/, though.

Having a supporting index (which Pg does /not/ automatically create) is vital, of course.

Thanks Ron.

While enabling the constraint (valid constraint) after initial data import, will it scan all the table data or the validation will happen for new rows inserted after that point)?

    If I read your email correctly, I see two options
    - Apply FK constraints *after* initial data load.
    - Load parent data before child data

    (You can create the FKs ahead of time, but use the NOT VALID clause;
    then, after data is loaded do ALTER TABLE ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT.)

        Team,

        Need some help regarding Open Source tools for DB migration (from
        SYBASE to PostgreSQL) with real time CDC. Along with this, is
        there any possibility to migrate other objects (like Triggers,
        Stored Procedures and Functions) to PostgreSQL?

        Thanks,
        Senko
