Create database and tables
Create triggers and generators (they are probably needed so generate
some PKs, default values, etc. while importing data)
Pump the data over
Add indices

Try to add FKs... you may get errors.

It would be great if you would elaborate on that "doesn't appear to
work" part, and tell us what exactly doesn't work. What do you do, what
do you expect, and what happens...
