Re: Disabling Constraints

Here is a script which generates all of the 'alter table' statements to drop the referential constrains. Spool if or cut and paste and you should be all set.

select 'alter table schema.'||table_name||' disable constraint '||constraint_name||';'
from dba_constraints
where CONSTRAINT_TYPE in ('R')
and owner='SCHEMA';

HTH,
Ruth
