Hi Gurus

Is there any way in postgreSQL to apply constraints forcefully without checking/validating Data ? It should validate only those records which comes after constraints are applied.

I need this help as data is already loaded in database but "ALTER TABLE" sql for adding CONSTRAINTS is taking enormous time.

Thanks for ideas/suggestion in Advance !!
