Thread: problem inserting in GIN index
Hi, A guy just reported on pgsql-es-ayuda that he's getting ERROR: item pointer (543108,2) already exists Apparently this message only occurs on GIN, in insertItemPointer Reading that routine I cannot help but wonder -- where is gdi->btree.curitem incremented? http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/521014.20415.qm%40web52103.mail.re2.yahoo.com -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
