PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE syntax was not supported before this patch: 1997-12-04 18:07 thomas * src/backend/parser/: analyze.c, gram.y: Add SQL92-compliant syntax for constraints.

In fact, we do not even *have* any implementation method for unique constraints other than the duplicate- entry-detection code in the btree index AM. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
