Re: duplicate key value violates unique constraint"chinese_price_infos_pkey" - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. It is automatic, my app don’t creates ID, it delegates it to the DB. I am using Ruby on Rails
app,where we use Postgresql.  

docking_dev=# \d chinese_price_infos;
                                         Table "public.chinese_price_infos"
   Column    |            Type             | Collation | Nullable |                     Default
-------------+-----------------------------+-----------+----------+-------------------------------------------------
 id          | integer                     |           | not null | nextval('chinese_price_infos_id_seq'::regclass)
 created_at  | timestamp without time zone |           |          |
 updated_at  | timestamp without time zone |           |          |
 item_code   | character varying(255)      |           |          |
 description | character varying(255)      |           |          |
 unit        | character varying(255)      |           |          |
 price_cents | integer                     |           |          |
 uuid        | uuid                        |           |          | uuid_generate_v4()
 company_id  | uuid                        |           |          |
Indexes:
    "chinese_price_infos_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
    "index_chinese_price_infos_on_company_id" btree (company_id)
