Michael,
Thank you for answer, but you don't understand me
I understood syntax and reason for this, but why postgreSQL doesn't accept this :
create index test.test_name on test.test(name)
schema prefix in 'create index'
I know that it isn't necessary, because postgreSQL know that index is (must be)
in table's schema, but this is natural for sql writers
I expect that 'create ...' and 'drop ...' allow/request/don't accept schema prefix on same way
Thanks
Peco
