Query execution order: msg#00118

Subject: Query execution order
Hi!

I've been playing a bit with my frinends' tables and I wanted to remove an existing unique constraint and add a primary key with the same name. However, instead of first removing an existing constraint and then adding a new one, I added the primary key and then deleted the unique constraint. When I hit OK I got a pgsql error, telling me that a relation with that name already exists.

The SQL tag had these queries:
ALTER TABLE uporabniki ADD CONSTRAINT uporabniki_primary_key_key PRIMARY KEY (primary_key);
ALTER TABLE uporabniki DROP CONSTRAINT uporabniki_primary_key_key;

Is it possible for pgAdmin to reorder the queries so that the drop queries are first and all the rest follow? Or if it could at least check for existing constraint names?


Thanks and best regards,
Miha
