Is the unique constraint supposed to work on a char column?
I wanted to add a constraint such that a combination of two columns (date_added and hash_key) was always unique but although the constraint seems to have been added successfully, it seemingly has no effect:
(please disregard timer measurements, I'm doing lots of concurrent inserts at the same time)
This is indeed a bug. Could you create an entry for it on the BugTracker? Niels

I can't seem to get monetdb to refuse to add the rows.
I then tried:
sql>CREATE TABLE test.keytest2 ( more> date_added int NOT NULL, more> key int NOT NULL, more> dimension1 int NOT NULL, more> dimension2 int NOT NULL, more> metric1 int NOT NULL, more> metric2 int NOT NULL, more> more> CONSTRAINT key_test2 UNIQUE (key,date_added) more>); Operation successful Timer 167.384 msec 0 rows sql>insert into test.keytest2 (date_added, key, dimension1, dimension2, metric1, metric2) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2); Rows affected 1 Timer 1.693 msec 0 rows sql>insert into test.keytest2 (date_added, key, dimension1, dimension2, metric1, metric2) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2); !SQLException:assert:INSERT INTO: UNIQUE constraint 'keytest2.key_test2' violated 0 tuples Timer 66.634 msec 0 rows sql>select * from test.keytest2; select * from test.keytest2; +------------+-------+------------+------------+---------+---------+ | date_added | key | dimension1 | dimension2 | metric1 | metric2 | +============+=======+============+============+=========+=========+ | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | +------------+-------+------------+------------+---------+---------+ 1 tuple Timer 140.707 msec 1 rows
Which worked as expected.
Is this a bug or is it by design?
