#26034 closed Bug (fixed)

Altering CharFields to have both db_index=True and unique=True crashes on postgresql

Description

Hi Everyone,

If you have a CharField with db_index=True and alter it to have both "db_index=True" and "unique=True" the migration for this will not run on PostgreSQL.

Instead, you will get the following error:

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "app_mymodel_my_field_3922656f_like" already exists

This bug apears to have been introduced in Django 1.8.7/1.9.1. Git bisect leads to this commit: https://github.com/django/django/commit/722fae4b5159b2810e252e3385936f86f04eb09b

I have created a test project that should hopefully help diagnosis: https://github.com/kaedroho/djangobugtest2/

Thanks,

Karl

Docs say, "Note that when unique is True, you don’t need to specify db_index, because unique implies the creation of an index." Nonetheless, we should handle this case gracefully.
