That's odd. Where's the array? Subqueries shouldn't result in arrays in
any way, no?
On my Bacula install there are no triggers on the `path' table and it's
a very simple table:
Table "public.path"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-------------------------------------------------------
pathid | integer | not null default nextval('path_pathid_seq'::regclass)
path | text | not null
Indexes:
"path_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (pathid)
"path_name_idx" btree (path)
so I'm a bit puzzled. Just to see, try expressing the query in two steps:
SELECT path INTO TEMPORARY TABLE batch_path
FROM batch GROUP BY path;
INSERT INTO Path (Path)
SELECT batch_path.Path
FROM batch_path AS a
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Path WHERE Path = a.Path);
