[BUGS] [Fwd: [Fwd: named constraints]]

[Merrill Oveson]

All:

I have the following table:

create table try (
        ordnum int4 primary key,
        type char(3),
        CONSTRAINT type_check CHECK(type in ('bid', 'ord', 'rma'))
);

The named constraint works find here.

However when I do:

> psql ati -c "alter table try drop constraint type_check"

I get:ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near ""

Am I missing something here?

What I'd really like to do is have constraints that are "outside"
the table definition, that way I could add and drop constraints
without having to dump the data out, rebuild the schema
and re-import the data back in.  Is this possible?
