I'm pretty sure that between 8.0.1 and 8.0.17 there are a couple of bugfixes related to duplicate rows with pk scenarios, you should probably take some time to upgrade before you spend too much time digging into this (make sure to read all of the release notes for those versions in between, i'm also thinking there are some special instructions that might need to be done somewhere in there) -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter LAMP :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL
