This command generated new pg_depend entries linking the index to the constraint and the constraint to the table, which match the entries made when a unique or primary key constraint is built de novo. However, it did not bother to get rid of the entries linking the index directly to the table. We had considered the issue when the ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX patch was written, and concluded that we didn't need to get rid of the extra entries. But this is wrong: ALTER COLUMN TYPE wasn't expecting such redundant dependencies to exist, as reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski. On reflection it seems rather likely to break other things as well, since there are many bits of code that crawl pg_depend for one purpose or another, and most of them are pretty naive about what relationships they're expecting to find. Fortunately it's not that hard to get rid of the extra dependency entries, so let's do that. Back-patch to 9.1, where ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX was added. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
