Oh, I don't think so, because when I use some complex WHERE clause the
statements don't use the index uq_test  (EXPLAIN...) and it works find.

This Statement works also fine:

update test2 set v1=0 where v1=0;

And therefor, I think this is a bug.

What do you mean with enforces the constraint? Sorry, I can't follow
you. Can you describe, how I enforce the Constraint?

Thanx a lot.
