That's because there isn't one. Primary keys, unique constraints and
foreign key constraints don't meaningfully inherit currently. So, for now
ProUser has no unique constraint on the personID field unless you define
one in ProUser (and said constraint does not prevent a personID in Person
from being duplicated in ProUser).
