I know that it isn't necessary, because postgreSQL know that index
is (must be)
in table's schema, but this is natural for sql writers
Allowing a schema-qualified name for CREATE INDEX implies that there
is a choice of schema you could choose. By disallowing the schema, it
makes developers aware of the limitation of where the index can be
created. If the schema was allowed, some people would infer that they
can place the index in a schema other than the schema the table
resides in, and they would get bitten when they try to do so.
