Hi,
Foreign Keys are implemented with triggers and you can list thim all by doing a 'SELECT * FROM pg_trigger;'. The triggers starting with RI_ConstraintTrigger_?????? are those in question, but which trigger goes with which foreign key is not obvious. If you have named the Foriegn keys then it should not be too much problem. Otherwise you should me able to make it out from the tgargs field. When you have found out which triggers you need to drop use DROP TRIGGER ... to remove them.
You can add the Foreign keys again after you have copied all the data with ALTER TABLE ...
Hope this helps
