Usually, when you call CREATE INDEX
in Postgres, you expect the index to be created, or an error to be raised. However, if you are doing each of these:-
- Creating a UNIQUE index
- The data is not unique
- Creating the index CONCURRENTLY
An index will be created, but be INVALID. From the documentation:-
If a problem arises while scanning the table, such as a deadlock or a uniqueness violation in a unique index, the CREATE INDEX command will fail but leave behind an “invalid” index.
