 If exists checks if the table exists and only tries to rename in the case of existence.
 
+## Constraint statements
+
+#### `ADD CONSTRAINT`
+
+Adds a constraint to an existing table.
+CedarDB supports named `primary key`, `foreign key`, and `unique` constraints:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE orders ADD CONSTRAINT orders_pk primary key (id);
+ALTER TABLE orders ADD CONSTRAINT orders_customer_fk foreign key (customer) references customers (id);
+ALTER TABLE orders ADD CONSTRAINT orders_unique unique (customer, item);
+```
+
+The `CONSTRAINT <name>` part can be omitted entirely, in which case CedarDB automatically assigns a default name using the same conventions as PostgreSQL:
+- Primary key: `tablename_pkey`
+- Unique: `tablename_colname_key`
+- Foreign key: `tablename_colname_fkey`
+
+#### `DROP CONSTRAINT`
+
+Removes a constraint by name, using either an explicit name or the default name:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE orders DROP CONSTRAINT orders_unique;
+ALTER TABLE orders DROP CONSTRAINT orders_pkey;
+```
