I'm still getting this duplicate key violation error on the toast
table. I've re-indexed both the main table and the toast table, would
clustering the table, or recreating the table with a select into fix
this problem?
Also, I believe this index is created by the database so I shouldn't be
able to insert data that causes this error, shouldn't the database
complain a little louder about this error?
