Ron,

My projects don't all use SQL so I'm far from a clever scripter. :-)

No one is born a scripter, much less a clever scripter.

Doesn't alter table primarily apply to existing row values for specific
columns rather than inserting new rows and their column values?

I don't think so.  For example, pg_dump has an option to add those DISABLE/ENABLE TRIGGER  statements.  It makes bulk loading of records much simpler.
