Hack its pg_constraint.condeferrable and pg_constraint.condeferred fields (the latter is the INITIALLY DEFERRED flag). You will also need to find the triggers that implement the constraint and update their pg_trigger.tgdeferrable and pg_trigger.tginitdeferred copies of these values. Then start fresh backend sessions and I think you're there. AFAIK the most reliable way to find the triggers is to follow the linking entries in pg_depend. regards, tom lane
