I have a table in PostgreSQL where the schema looks like this:
CREATE TABLE "foo_table" (
"id" serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
"permalink" varchar(200) NOT NULL,
"text" varchar(512) NOT NULL,
"timestamp" timestamp with time zone NOT NULL
)
Now I want to make the permalink unique across the table by ALTER-ing the table. Can anybody help me with this?
TIA
I figured it out from the PostgreSQL docs, the exact syntax is:
ALTER TABLE the_table ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name UNIQUE (thecolumn);
Thanks Fred.
