[GENERAL] Short-circuiting FK check for a newly-added field

[Decibel!]

I need to add a field to a fairly large table. In the same alter statement I'd like to add a FK constraint on that new field. Is there any way to avoid the check of the table that the database is doing right now? The check is pointless because the newly added field is nothing but NULLs.

This is version 8.1.mumble.
