Обсуждение: Typo in misc_sanity.sql?
Hi, hackers I found the misc_sanity has a SQL to check system catalogs that do not have primary keys, however, in current exceptions it says pg_depend, pg_shdepend don't have a unique key. Should we fix it? -- Regrads, Japin Li. ChengDu WenWu Information Technology Co.,Ltd.

Indeed. There's a clear difference between primary key and unique key. The patch LGTM. Regards, Bharath Rupireddy.

As indeed they do not:
regression=# \d pg_depend
Table "pg_catalog.pg_depend"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
-------------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
classid | oid | | not null |
objid | oid | | not null |
objsubid | integer | | not null |
refclassid | oid | | not null |
refobjid | oid | | not null |
refobjsubid | integer | | not null |
deptype | "char" | | not null |
Indexes:
"pg_depend_depender_index" btree (classid, objid, objsubid)
"pg_depend_reference_index" btree (refclassid, refobjid, refobjsubid)
regression=# \d pg_shdepend
Table "pg_catalog.pg_shdepend"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
------------+---------+-----------+----------+---------
dbid | oid | | not null |
classid | oid | | not null |
objid | oid | | not null |
objsubid | integer | | not null |
refclassid | oid | | not null |
refobjid | oid | | not null |
deptype | "char" | | not null |
Indexes:
"pg_shdepend_depender_index" btree (dbid, classid, objid, objsubid), tablespace "pg_global"
"pg_shdepend_reference_index" btree (refclassid, refobjid), tablespace "pg_global"
Tablespace: "pg_global"
Your proposed wording seems to give strictly less information,
so I do not see why it's an improvement.

So, IMO, the description exceptions should say they do not have primary keys, rather than do not have unique keys. -- Regrads, Japin Li. ChengDu WenWu Information Technology Co.,Ltd.

The context of that check is that for each system catalog we pick one of the available unique keys and designate it as the one primary key. If a system catalog doesn't have a unique key to choose from, then we can't do that, hence the comment. Changing the comment as suggested would essentially be saying, this catalog has no primary key because it has no primary key, which wouldn't be helpful.
