PG will allow a foreign key constraint to be constructed when there is a
unique index for the referenced column(s). The unique index could have
been constructed via a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint, or via a plain
old CREATE UNIQUE INDEX command. In the latter case there is no
constraint for the information_schema to show.
