Is there an option to set novalidate constraints in postgres? In my source Sybase DB, table structures are not defined properly (only primary keys exist and no foreign key) - I'm making necessary changes on target Postgres DB (created tables, identifying relationship between table columns with respective team). After creating proper structure on target, the next step is to load data - I'm sure there will be a lot of errors during initial data load (no parent record found). How to handle it?
Other options:
create all foreign keys before importing your data and do ...
This way table triggers are disabled for all users;
ALTER TABLE T1 DISABLE TRIGGER ALL; ALTER TABLE T2 DISABLE TRIGGER ALL;ALTER TABLE T3 DISABLE TRIGGER ALL;
--Import all your data
ALTER TABLE T1 ENABLE TRIGGER ALL; ALTER TABLE T2 ENABLE TRIGGER ALL;ALTER TABLE T3 ENABLE TRIGGER ALL;
or
This way table triggers are disabled for this session only;
SET SESSION_REPLICATION_ROLE = REPLICA;
--Import all your data
SET SESSION_REPLICATION_ROLE = ORIGIN;
Obviously if your data doesn't have correct foreign keys matching to their parent you'll never be able to do a dump/restore properly.
