Works for Oracle...I guess Postgres is just an obviously more robust,
faster, more reliable, and altogether more brilliant RDBMS than this
loser commercial DB? It's really hard to understand why Postgres has
had such a poor reputation over the years when faced with such facts,
isn't it?

Dropping constraints on a table just because you drop a column is
just butt-ugly.
Sorry if you disagree.
