Full text index in Azure SQL DB

Question
-
HI,
I have started using the Full text index in Azure SQL DB. I am using SSIS to load/refresh the database. Generally, during loading, we disable the indexes, load and then re-enable the indexes for better load performance. Does this apply for Full-Text index in Azure SQL as well? The table with the full-text indexing will be truncated and reloaded everyday.
Currently, the approach I am following is, drop the foreign key constraints, truncate the tables, alter to include the foreign key constraints. I am not dropping/disabling the Unique key (identity column) I have created for the sole purpose of the full text index since my primary key is a varchar.
What would be a good approach for this.
Thanks,
Arul

Pause populating the full-text index during load helps crawl to pause and improves the load performance. Post load you can resume the population. Syntax for this can be referred @ https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188359(v=sql.110).aspx
Look for {STOP | PAUSE | RESUME } POPULATION options.
