<div dir="ltr"><div>Markus,</div><div><br></div><div>If there is a linked table, v.db.addtable stops in line 106. If not, this script doesn't create a unique index and calls v.db.connect. v.db.connect adds a db link in line 317 and creates a unique index (db_create_index2) in line 334 if linking was successful. SQLite didn't complain when both modules created the same unique index, but PostgreSQL failed in v.db.connect (2nd time creating the same unique index). Not sure which code was added first/later. I think it's more of how we design both modules. v.db.connect will fail if we try to link a table with a unique index. Isn't v.db.connect supposed to "just" connect a table to a layer (without creating any database objects like index)? Which module should be responsible for creating unique indices?</div><div><br></div><div>Before this commit:</div><div>1. v.db.addtable creates unique index</div><div>2. v.db.connect tries to create unique index again ==> fatal error</div><div><br></div><div>After this commit:</div><div>1. v.db.addtable doesn't create unique index</div><div>2. v.db.connect creates unique index</div><div><br></div><div>Probably, it should be:</div><div>1. v.db.addtable should create unique index</div><div>2. v.db.connect shouldn't try to create unique index?

<br>
just a conceptual question:<br>
... are we sure that this index creation removal never leads to a<br>
table without index?<br>
