Subject: create index concurrently docs ...
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 10:59:48 -0500
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

In reading over the caveats regarding create index concurrently, I  
think it'd be nice to see an example of what the return result will  
be if an 'invalid' index is created so a dba who read the docs night  
recognize the error, as well as for searchengine fodder to find out  
what to do real fast if such an error happens to them.

Something around this paragraph in http://www.postgresql.org/docs/ 
current/static/sql-createindex.html#SQL-CREATEINDEX-CONCURRENTLY:

"If a problem arises during the second scan of the table, such as a  
uniqueness violation in a unique index, the CREATE INDEX command will  
fail but leave behind an "invalid" index."

Thanks!
