Dear All,

I've been renaming some of my tables with alter table. These tables were
created with a primary key so an implicit unique index is created on the
primary key field.

When I rename the table, the <old_table_name>_pkey is not renamed but the
key still appears to function normally (e.g. I can't insert two entries
with the same primary key).

Are they any instances (other than 'human' ones such as lack of clarity in
table names) where this might be a problem or can I safely ingnore the
discrepancy.

Cheers,

S.
