HI all,
in the documentation for CREATE TABLE we have this sentence:
"The name of the table must be distinct from the name of any other table, sequence, index, view, or foreign table in
thesame schema."
At least materialized views are missing:
postgres=# create materialized view t as select 1;
SELECT 1
postgres=# create table t ( a int );
ERROR: relation "t" already exists
postgres=# drop materialized view t;
DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW
Domains are also missing:
postgres=# create domain t as int;
CREATE DOMAIN
postgres=# create table t ( a int );
ERROR: type "t" already exists
HINT: A relation has an associated type of the same name, so you must use a name that doesn't conflict with any
existingtype.
postgres=# drop domain t;
DROP DOMAIN
... but that maybe is covered by the next paragraph?
"CREATE TABLE also automatically creates a data type that represents the composite type corresponding to one row of the
table.Therefore, tables cannot have the same name as any existing data type in the same schema."

Daniel
