Обсуждение: create unique index schema.index_name on table (column)?

Is the syntax "schema_name.index_name" for create unique index wrong, 
unsupported or what? I know is doesn't work as postgres kicks me back a 
syntax error each time (version 7.3.2 & 7.4.5). -sigh-

Could you give a full example (including the error) of what you're 
doing? It's kind of hard to give a suggestion based on your brief 
description.

Also, looking quickly at the online docs, we find :

Yes.

Put the schema name on the table, instead.

I'm working with a closed source application that reads an ASCII file 
and as it does it (via ODBC) creates tables and indexes, inserting as it 
goes. Like so:

CREATE TABLE bgsuser.CAXCTRLD ( CTRLS INTEGER, INTVL INTEGER);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX bgsuser.PRIMARY_CAXCTRLD ON bgsuser.CAXCTRLD 
(CTRLS,INTVL);
INSERT ...
INSERT ...

The application is designed to work through ODBC and psqlODBC does a 
great job. My problem is the username (schema qualifier) on the create 
index statement. I've decided it's easiest to copy/paste/modify the 
create statements from the ODBC trace logs.. oh, well.
