Informix - Problem description

Problem IT37886 Status: Closed

ADDING A PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT AGAINST AN EXISTING NOT NULL SERIAL UNIQUE
INDEX INCORRECTLY PERFORMS INTEGRITY CHECKING

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
Given the following schema of a populated table:

create table table1 (col1 serial not null, col2 int not null);
create unique index table1_pk_idx on table1(col1) in
dbspace2k_1;

The addition of a PRIMARY key constraint, as below, should not
perform any integrity checking and complete quickly as there is
an existing UNIQUE index on the SERIAL column which is specified
as NOT NULL.

alter table table1 add constraint primary key (col1) constraint
table1_pk;

If the constraint addition is performed against a highly
populated table, this can result in concurrency problems during
the time the unnecessary integrity checking is being performed.
