Unique text index on a non-text column

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'd like to enforce text uniqueness on a non-text column (it's of type "molecule" from a third-party plugin). The third-party plugin doesn't support unique indexes. My guess was something like this, but it doesn't work:

create table molecules(id integer primary key, moltext molecule('my-type'));
create unique index i_unique_molecule on molecules(moltext::text);

The "molecule" column does contain an ordinary string, and when selected returns ordinary text data.

Is there a way to do this? (And if so, what did I miss in the documentation?)

Thanks,
Craig
