Do you have any inherited tables? What's the result of the following
query?
SELECT tableoid::regclass, *
FROM a_constants_str
WHERE constname = 'DOCPLAID';
Inherited tables are documented to have deficiencies regarding
constraints. Observe:
CREATE TABLE parent ( constname varchar(30) NOT NULL, fid integer NOT NULL, constvalue varchar(30),
PRIMARYKEY (constname, fid)
);
CREATE TABLE child () INHERITS (parent);
INSERT INTO parent VALUES ('DOCPLAID', 0, 'SOF_19738');
INSERT INTO parent VALUES ('DOCPLAID', 0, 'SOF_19738');
ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "parent_pkey"
INSERT INTO child VALUES ('DOCPLAID', 0, 'SOF_19738');
SELECT tableoid::regclass, * FROM parent;tableoid | constname | fid | constvalue
----------+-----------+-----+------------parent | DOCPLAID | 0 | SOF_19738child | DOCPLAID | 0 | SOF_19738
