NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/UNIQUE will create implicit index
check_directory for table fmgroups
The UNIQUE keyword is supported, unless there is some other feature or
behavior that you are expecting?
And, to split hairs, Postgres does support the foreign key *syntax*, but
throws it away and does nothing with it in the backend. So, I'd say it
supports foreign key syntax but does not support foreign keys ;)
