+ The SQL standard requires constraint names to be unique within a
+ schema; <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, however, does not
+ enforce this restriction. If duplicate-named constraints are
+ stored in the same <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> schema, a
+ standard-compliant query that expects to return one row might
+ return several, one for each matching constraint stored in the
+ specified schema.
