Hi
It makes sense that I can't have more than 1 primary key.
Postgres was trying to create another primary key instead of modify the
existing primary key.
So...
As I understand it, a table does not always have to have a primary key
defined.
Would it work to first delete/drop the primary key, then recreate the
primary key on all 6 columns.
ALTER TABLE product_price DROP CONSTRAINT product_price_pkey;
I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work... If I look at the table
from pgAdmin, it is still there, reindexable, I can't add a new primary
key, etc. But if I try to run the above command twice, it says it's
already been removed.

Just for the record... the error message I got was:
ERROR: ALTER TABLE / PRIMARY KEY multiple primary keys for table
'product_price' are not allowed
