I have to admit my reaction was similar to Simon's, meaning that the lack of docs is a problem, and that the limitations are kind of a surprise, and I wonder what other surprises there are. I am thinking this is a result of small teams, often from the same company, working on a features in isolation and then making them public. It is often not clear what decisions were made and why. The idea that unique indexes on a parent table can't guarantee uniqueness across child tables is both a surprise, and obvious once stated. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
