Dear Hackers,
Should this work?
CREATE TABLE things ( user_id INTEGER NOT NULL, document JSONB NOT NULL, UNIQUE (user_id,
document->>'name') ); ERROR: syntax error at or near "->>" LINE 4: UNIQUE (user_id, document->>’name')
I tried adding parens, but that didn’t work, either:
CREATE TABLE things ( user_id INTEGER NOT NULL, document JSONB NOT NULL, UNIQUE (user_id,
(document->>'name')) ); ERROR: syntax error at or near "(" LINE 4: UNIQUE (user_id, (document->>'name'))
It works fine to create a unique index, though:
CREATE TABLE things ( user_id INTEGER NOT NULL, document JSONB NOT NULL ); CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ON
things(user_id,(document->>'name'));
So it’s a fine workaround, but maybe there’s something missing from the parsing of the CREATE TABLE statement? This is
on9.6.1.
Best,
David
