This does illustrate an unusual case where a unique index does not
guarantee unique rows from a table:
test=> CREATE TABLE t1 (x INT);
CREATE TABLE
test=> CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ii ON t1(x);
CREATE INDEX
test=> CREATE TABLE t2 (y INT) inherits (t1);
CREATE TABLE
test=> INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1);
INSERT 17389 1
test=> INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (1,2);
INSERT 17390 1
test=> SELECT * FROM t1;
x
