Sorry - my bad. Here is the postgresql definition of a PRIMARY-KEY:
The PRIMARY KEY column constraint specifies that a column of a table may
contain only unique (non-duplicate), non-NULL values. The definition of
the specified column does not have to include an explicit NOT NULL
constraint to be included in a PRIMARY KEY constraint.

Is a primary key not unique by definition? - doesn't the primary key
uniquely identify a row in a table?
