How can you enforce uniqueness in the application? If you implement it
correctly, you need considerably longer than letting it do PostgreSQL.
Even if you use some kind of magic, I could not imagine, how you can
implement a unique constraint in the application and gaurantee
uniqueness while at the same time be faster than the RDBMS.
