Hello all,

Some of my tables were badly designed and have 2 indexes, like the following example (lots of tables have same problem):

<<<
postgres=# \d test1
     Table "public.test1"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
 t1     | integer | not null
Indexes:
    "test1_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (t1)
    "test1_t1_key" UNIQUE CONSTRAINT, btree (t1)
Referenced by:
    TABLE "test2" CONSTRAINT "test2_t1_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (t1) REFERENCES test1(t1)

postgres=# \d test2
     Table "public.test2"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
 t2     | integer | not null
 t1     | integer |
Indexes:
    "test2_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (t2)
Foreign-key constraints:
    "test2_t1_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (t1) REFERENCES test1(t1)
>>>

It is not possible to remove the "test1_t1_key" constraint because the "test2_t1_fkey"  internally references it:
<<<
postgres=# ALTER TABLE test1 DROP CONSTRAINT test1_t1_key;
ERROR:  cannot drop constraint test1_t1_key on table test1 because other objects depend on it
DETAIL:  constraint test2_t1_fkey on table test2 depends on index test1_t1_key
HINT:  Use DROP ... CASCADE to drop the dependent objects too.
>>>

Is there a solution to" alter" the "test2_t1_fkey" constraint so that it uses the "primary key constraint", then to remove the unnecessary unique constraint on table test1

The following solution works but causes me deadlocks problems with BDR:
<<<
ALTER TABLE test2 DROP CONSTRAINT test2_t1_fkey;
ALTER TABLE test1 DROP CONSTRAINT test1_t1_key;
ALTER TABLE test2 ADD CONSTRAINT test2_t1_fkey FOREIGN KEY (t1) REFERENCES test1(t1);
>>>

Thanks and regards,
Sylvain
