Correct.  Our uniqueness on constraints is:
schema_name | table_name | constraint_name

We're aware that it's a violation of SQL92, but there's no way for us to 
change it now without making it very hard for people to upgrade.  And, 
frankly, aside from the very occasional information_schema complaint, 
nobody seems to care.
