The suggestion was raised that there needs to be some sort of unique constraint on analysis. To be consistent the idea was proposed for adding a uniquename field to the analysis table Stephen says (4/24/2015). I agree the current unique constraint on the analysis table is a bit hard to deal with. Also, It makes sense to me that a feature or stock would have a human-readable name that doesn’t need to be unique and a separate unique name, but I don’t think an analysis needs two names. I think the analysis name would be the best thing to make unique (no need for a unique name). But since a unique constraint has never existing on the name folks could have duplicate names and an upgrade that included a unique constraint on the name would break things. I’m not sure how to resolve this… marking for v1.4.
