Hi Teja,
Your columns are varchar. They may seem the same to you due to the tool you use. But, it doesn't mean they are identical. There can be leading or trailing spaces.
You can test the data on columns by md5 hashing function, example below. If their hashes are the same, it means there is a problem on the database side. Otherwise, the problem comes from the data itself or from the application writing the data into the table.
select md5(col1), md5(col2), md5(col3) from table.
Another possibility is that you hit a bug I mentioned earlier from 14.0 to 14.3. - What version of PpstgreSQL do you use? - Did you use CONCURRENTLY keyword while creating your index? Best regards.
Samed YILDIRIM Hello Jakobs,
I have provided the sample create table and inserts that we are observing.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "TEST"
(
"COL1" character varying(9) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,
"COL2" character varying(30) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,
"COL3" character varying(30) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,
"COL4" numeric(10,0) NOT NULL,
"COL5" character varying(12) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,
"COL6" character varying(12) COLLATE pg_catalog."default" NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT test_pk PRIMARY KEY ("COL1", "COL2", "COL3")
)
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS "TEST_UNIQUE"
ON "TEST" USING btree
("COL1" COLLATE pg_catalog."default" ASC NULLS LAST, "COL2" COLLATE pg_catalog."default" ASC NULLS LAST, "COL3" COLLATE pg_catalog."default" ASC NULLS LAST);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS "TEST_INDEX"
ON "TEST" USING btree
("COL1" COLLATE pg_catalog."default" ASC NULLS LAST, "COL3" COLLATE pg_catalog."default" ASC NULLS LAST);
Also, the values that we are seeing is as below:
| COL1 |
COL2 |
COL3 |
COL4 |
COL5 |
COL6 |
| 1 |
3456 |
76542 |
5 |
ABC |
1234 |
| 1 |
3456 |
76542 |
5 |
ABC |
1234 |
| 2 |
9872 |
89765 |
0 |
FGT |
1234 |
| 3 |
6547 |
78659 |
7 |
JHL |
8790 |
We already defined COL1, COL2, COL3 as primary keys, but still as you see above in the table output, the first 2 rows has exactly same combination for those 3 rows.

Unless you don't post your CREATE TABLE command plus some INSERT command
which lead to the described behavior, we won't be able to track the problem.
