<br /> Hi all,<br /><br /> Sorry for my post, but I think it is pg primary key bug.<br /><br /> It is secont time in
thatwe found the bug (see the replays for this message).<br /> We have many server with pg and use it over jdbc +
jboss.<br/><br /> I am not able to stop this server for long time, but I have dumped the problem table.<br /> It is
veryimportant to know if it is bug, because we have many server running pg + our ERP and continuing to install new.<br

Pls., see the records with 'DOCID' and note we have primary key
defined.   </pre></blockquote><pre wrap="">

It's unclear from just this data, but there's a chance that there are
varying numbers of spaces after 'DOCID', which would appear as separate
values for the index, even though they aren't readily apparent. Could
you show us the results of the following query?

select constname, length(constname) as constname_length
from a_constants_str;

Here's another one which would show if PostgreSQL is treating them
equally:

select constname, count(constname)
from a_constants_str;

The results of these queries might shed some light on the issue.

Hope this helps.
