Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

When a table is created using "CREATE TABLE" and one attribute is
declared as "PRIMARY KEY", the word "UNIQUE" has no effect
on another attribute (i.e. no implicit index is created for the "UNIQUE"
attribute and it is possible to add several records with the same value
for the "UNIQUE" attribute).

PostgreSQL 6.4.2 did not have any problem with that.


Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

First connect to a database:

           psql mydb

Then create the following table:

        CREATE TABLE mytest (
            x  INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
            y  VARCHAR(20) UNIQUE
        );

Now it is possible to insert this:

       INSERT INTO mytest VALUES (1,´test´);
       INSERT INTO mytest VALUES (2,´test´);

although this should not be possible, because
y was declared as "UNIQUE" !

This problem only occurs when one attribute is
a "PRIMARY KEY".
