<para>
The SQL standard requires constraint names to be unique within a
schema; <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, however, does not
enforce this restriction. If duplicate-named constraints are
stored in the same <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> schema, a
standard-compliant query that expects to return one row might
return several, one for each matching constraint stored in the
specified schema.
