I took your advice and checked the string size using char_length() and
octet_length(). They are the same.
octet_length | stock | octet_length | inventory_type | client_id
5 | 10725 | 4 | used | 60
5 | 10725 | 4 | used | 60
I do a daily pg_dump of the database and the scheme I posted was from
that. So the primary key is still active.
I just dont understand how I can have dups in the primary keys, unless
it is a bug.
