Thread: This is weird

This is weird

From

It doesn't seem to hurt anything but when I list sequences with \ds I
get a strange behaviour.  If I created the sequence as an ordinary
user everything seems normal.  If I create the sequence as a super
user (myself) it lists the sequence name twice.  As I said, it doesn't
seem to hurt anything.  I'll try to look into it next week if I can
get some time and no one else has figured it out.

I think your pg_shadow table has two superusers in it.

Give that man a seegar.  Now how in hell did I get in there twice with
the same name and same ID?  Doesn't createuser check that?

My guess is pg_dumpall did it somehow, perhaps a failed load.  Do I get
another cigar?
