Yes, that's another good example of 11.3 where you caneither use a pg partial index, or a pg/mysql unique nullable column with active=true or null.
 Thanks, James Briggs.

I have used unique partial indexes to enforce business rules like
"Active users must have a unique phone number, but there may be any
number of inactive users with the same phone number"

```
create unique index ix_active_phones
on users (phone)
where active = true
;
```
