Thanks!

I tried a variation of that to create DEFERRABLE constraints, and that was a mess.  It appears all the checks ran at
theend of the transaction individually – the process consumed 100% cpu overnight and was stuck on the 'commit' after 16
hours..

So I crossed my fingers and tried your code like this:

    BEGIN;
    DROP CONSTRAINT ..... x24;
    DELETE;
    ADD CONSTRAINT ..... x24;
    COMMIT;

And that took just over 24 seconds.
