Liquibase Add Unique Constraint During Table Creation

Question

I want to add a unique constraint to my table during it's creation. I thought something like this would work but it seems to just do nothing.

<createTable tableName="MY_TABLE">
   <column name="MY_TABLE_ID" type="SMALLINT" autoIncrement="true">
      <constraints primaryKey="true" nullable="false"/>
   </column>
   <column name="TABLE_FIELD" type="SMALLINT">
      <constraints nullable="false" uniqueConstraintName="TABLE_FIELD_ix1"/>
   </column>
   <column name="TABLE_FIELD_TWO" type="SMALLINT">
      <constraints nullable="false" uniqueConstraintName="TABLE_FIELD_ix1"/>
   </column>
</createTable>

I know I can use the addUniqueConstraint tag (and have successfully used it) after I create the table but I wanted to know if that was avoidable.

Basically I want to do this but during the create table portion

<addUniqueConstraint tableName="MY_TABLE"
                     columnNames="TABLE_FIELD, TABLE_FIELD_TWO"
                     constraintName="TABLE_FIELD_ix1"/>

Answer 1

Try adding unique="true" to <constraints>.

    <createTable tableName="MY_TABLE">
       <column name="MY_TABLE_ID" type="SMALLINT" autoIncrement="true">
          <constraints primaryKey="true" nullable="false"/>
       </column>
       <column name="TABLE_FIELD" type="SMALLINT">
          <constraints nullable="false" unique="true" uniqueConstraintName="TABLE_FIELD_ix1"/>
       </column>
       <column name="TABLE_FIELD_TWO" type="SMALLINT">
          <constraints nullable="false" unique="true" uniqueConstraintName="TABLE_FIELD_ix2"/>
       </column>
    </createTable>
