When adding unique keys:
* If you do this, you get two unique keys (7.0.3):
create table test (int4 a, int4 b);
create unique index indx1 on test(a, b);
create unique index indx2 on test(a, b);
Then you get this:
Table "test"Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+---------+----------a | integer |b | integer |
Indices: asdf, asdf2
* If you do this, you only get two unique keys (7.0.3):
create table test (a int4, b int4, unique(a, b), unique(a, b));
Then you get this:
Table "test"Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+---------+----------a | integer |b | integer |
Indices: test_a_key, test_a_key1
* So, does this mean that my ALTER TABLE/ADD CONSTRAINT code should happily
let people define multiple unique indices over the same columns?
* As a corollary, should it prevent people from adding more than one primary
key constraint?

ps. I know I only tested these on 7.0.3 - but I assume HEAD has similar
behaviour?
