Thread: Need help
I am running 7.4.2 and I am seeing a strange error. I am using jdbc to update a table with the following statement:
update vm_message set usecount=4 where messsage id='1234567';
this statements generates a PSQLException with the following message:
ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "vm_message_pkey"
I don't understand why I am getting this message because the primary key for table vm_message is messageid and this is not being changed
Any body have any ideas?

That doesn't help me because this is running in an embedded system that should have little or no db admin. Anybody suggest what version I should be running?

Is that space between message and id supposed to be there? Just wondering.
It was a mistype, it was not a cut and paste, as I do not have email on the system that has access to the system running the DB. There is meant to be no space in messageid -----Original Message----- From: Scott Marlowe [mailto:smarlowe@qwest.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 2:53 PM To: cjwhite@cisco.com Cc: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [ADMIN] Need help On Wed, 2004-10-20 at 12:57, Chris White (cjwhite) wrote: > I am running 7.4.2 and I am seeing a strange error.
