-----------------------------------
Not sure about the CATALOG... maybe we should include it as well?
> Limit the scope of uniqueness of constraint name to database
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-22728
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22728
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, constraint names are globally unique across all databases
> (assumption is that this may have done by design). Nevertheless, though
> behavior seems to be implementation specific, it would be interesting to
> limit the scope to uniqueness per database.
> Currently we do not store database information with the constraints. To
> change the scope to one db, we would need to store the DB_ID in the
> KEY_CONSTRAINTS table in metastore when we create a constraint and add the
> DB_ID to the PRIMARY KEY of that table. Some minor changes to the error
> messages would be needed too, since otherwise it would be difficult to
> identify the correct violation in queries that span across multiple
> databases. Additionally, the SQL scripts will need to be updated to populate
> the DB_ID when we upgrade to new version.
