You have to disable triggers.

Two options:

- Export table data, truncate table (if your table is fk source you will
have a problem), add constraint and import exported data with
--disable-triggers flag in pg_restore.

- Perhaps you could add manually triger via pg_trigger table in
pg_catalog whith an insert into this table.

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 !!
