Hello Everybody,

We recently upgraded to Postgres 7.4 from 7.3.9 and noticed that the
foreign key constraints compile noticeably faster. In 7.3 the
constraints would typically take more than an hour to run on our
production data. Now they take a minute or two.

Can anybody explain such a major performance improvement ?

Thanks
