This is true, the process was not hung, however, it
took 24 hrs to create this one foreign key.
Is there any other way to create the foriegn key, as
the next time i go through this process the table may
have up to 1 million records.
would CREATE TRIGGER be faster? i cannot have my
production database down for a week while i create a
foreign key.
thanks for your help.
