I would check the order in which things are being created in your process.

What I usually do is create all the tables sans indexing or constraints (except primary key).  Once the table are done, load the data in to the tables that need to be populated.  Then constraints, triggers and then indexes.  But, hey, that is just me.  One thing, make sure you know your data.  I mean if you are adding new (not before used on the data) unique indexes, make sure the loaded data will support that uniqueness.

Just 2 cents.
Michael
