Hi,
I was looking at this check in src/backend/parser/parse_utilcmd.c w.r.t.
constraint:

                if (indclass->values[i] != defopclass ||
                    attform->attcollation != index_rel->rd_indcollation[i]
||
                    attoptions != (Datum) 0 ||
                    index_rel->rd_indoption[i] != 0)
                    ereport(ERROR,
                            (errcode(ERRCODE_WRONG_OBJECT_TYPE),
                             errmsg("index \"%s\" column number %d does not
have default sorting behavior", index_name, i + 1),
                             errdetail("Cannot create a primary key or
unique constraint using such an index."),

It seems this first came in via `Indexes with INCLUDE columns and their
support in B-tree`

If the index has DESC sorting order, why it cannot be used to back a
constraint ?
Some concrete sample would help me understand this.

Thanks
