RE: Constraint Enable/Disable

I am trying to import data into a database, but it keeps skipping rows because of constraints. So I want to disable the constraints, import the data and then enable the constraints again.

Can I do this? or is there another way to go about it?

Thanks

Namaskar !!

alter table table_name disable constraint cons_name; you could generate sql's to generate these ..

select 'alter table '||table_name||' disable constraint '||constraint_name||';'
from all_constraints
where constraint_type in ('C','R')
/

later you could replace the DISABLE with ENABLE and.... ..

regards
