It seems that, whereas name uniqueness check occurs when creating a named
FK constraint, the same does not occur when creating a named PK constraint
or any index-based constraint for that matter (they are handled by
different code paths - in the latter's case, name conflicts with existing
relations is checked for when creating the constraint index)
Maybe, we should perform the constraint name check in code paths handling
the following two cases:
ALTER TABLE foo ADD CONSTRAINT name PK/UNIQUE/EXCLUSION ...
ALTER TABLE foo ADD CONSTRAINT name PK/UNIQUE/EXCLUSION USING INDEX ...
If so, attached a patch for the same (regression tests pass).
Thanks,
