I have CHAR columns and need a primary key also. So I tried the code CREATE TABLE foo ( bar CHAR(10) NOT NULL ); CREATE UNIQUE INDEX foo_bar ON foo(bar bpchar_pattern_ops); ALTER TABLE foo ADD PRIMARY KEY (bar); I found that adding primary key creates another index. How to create primary key without duplicate index on bar column ?
