1. A method for loading data from a source table to a target table comprising:
- providing a target table;
providing a source table, the source table including data to be loaded into the target table; and
loading data into the target table from the source table including eliminating any logic to validate a constraint defined on the target table based on one or more pre-determined conditions.

8. A computer program product tangibly stored on a computer-readable medium for loading data from a source table to a target table, the product comprising program instructions operable to cause a programmable processor to:
-
provide a target table;
provide a source table, the source table including data to be loaded into the target table; and
load data into the target table from the source table including instructions to eliminate any logic to validate a constraint defined on the target table based on one or more pre-determined conditions. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
