Question is:

I want to use key words like SERIAL, PRIMARY KEY, etc, for creating tables,
but this words create indexes asociated to tables.

If i use COPY to poblate tables, indexes make tranfer very slow.

How can i deactivate indexes temporaly for making a COPY?.

Any other strategy?.

Thanks for your ideas.
