Michael, Thank you for answer, but you don't understand me I understood syntax and reason for this, but why postgreSQL doesn't accept this :
create index test.test_name on test.test(name) schema prefix in 'create index' I know that it isn't necessary, because postgreSQL know that index is (must be) in table's schema, but this is natural for sql writers I expect that 'create ...' and 'drop ...' allow/request/don't accept schema prefix on same way Thanks Peco On Sunday 09 April 2006 02:08 am, Michael Glaesemann wrote: > > On Apr 9, 2006, at 12:56 , Haris Peco wrote: > > > 'drop index' request schema prefix, but 'create index' doesn't > > accept schema prefix > > Currently indexes must be in the same schema as the table they index, > so no schema is accepted for CREATE INDEX.
