Vince, I can't find this anywhere. What version is this? I bet we
already fixed it. In fact, I think I remember seeing the fix a while
ago.

My pgsql \h create table shows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] TABLE table_name (
{ column_name type [ column_constraint [ ... ] ]
| table_constraint } [, ... ]
) [ INHERITS ( parent_table [, ... ] ) ]

where column_constraint can be:
[ CONSTRAINT constraint_name ]
{ NOT NULL | NULL | UNIQUE | PRIMARY KEY | DEFAULT value | CHECK (condition) |
REFERENCES table [ ( column ) ] [ MATCH FULL | MATCH PARTIAL ]
[ ON DELETE action ] [ ON UPDATE action ]
[ DEFERRABLE | NOT DEFERRABLE ] [ INITIALLY DEFERRED | INITIALLY IMMEDIATE ]
}

and table_constraint can be:
[ CONSTRAINT constraint_name ]
{ UNIQUE ( column_name [, ... ] ) |
PRIMARY KEY ( column_name [, ... ] ) |
CHECK ( condition ) |
FOREIGN KEY ( column_name [, ... ] ) REFERENCES table [ ( column [, ... ] ) ]
[ MATCH FULL | MATCH PARTIAL ] [ ON DELETE action ] [ ON UPDATE action ]
[ DEFERRABLE | NOT DEFERRABLE ] [ INITIALLY DEFERRED | INITIALLY IMMEDIATE ]
}

Yeah, I got a note from Peter saying it was fixed in 7.1. Silly me, I
thought hub was running 7.1, psql must be 7.0.x.

postgresql=> select version();
version
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.1 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.2, compiled by GCC 2.95.2
(1 row)

postgresql=> \h create table
Command: CREATE TABLE
Description: Creates a new table
Syntax:
CREATE [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] TABLE table (
column type
[ NULL | NOT NULL ] [ UNIQUE ] [ DEFAULT value ]
[column_constraint_clause | PRIMARY KEY } [ ... ] ]

[, PRIMARY KEY ( column [, ...] ) ]
[, CHECK ( condition ) ]
[, table_constraint_clause ]
) [ INHERITS ( inherited_table [, ...] ) ]

as just seen on hub a few minutes ago.

Did someone delete this one from the database? I just went to close it
out and it's gone.

Looks like there's an older psql in your PATH. You could make sure with
"psql -V".
