I am generating scripts from MSSQL Server and converting them to create objects in PostgreSQL. It is suprisingly easy. However, I think I may have hit a rock.

It appears that PostgreSQL does not support listing constraints to be added as in the following syntax:

alter table foo add
constraint fk_foo_bar foreign key
(
fooid
) references bar (
barid
),
constraint fk_foo_baz foreign key
(
footooid
) references baz (
bazid
);

Is this true? Is this something that is being considered for addition?

Also, I see that alter table add constraint does not work for defaults. Is this something that is going to be added?

Thanks!!
