recently I have found several tables has exactly the same pkey,  here is the definition:

"diggcontent_data_account_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (thing_id, key)

the data is like this:

   159292 | funnypics_link_point       | 41                                                                                                                     | num

   159292 | funnypics_link_point       | 40                                                                                                                     | num

I could not even update this record.

really confused about how could this happen... thanks!

Hi,

could you send us result of the query: 

select thing_id, '|'||key||'|' from table? 

Maybe there are some more spaces in the key column which were hidden by table alignment in the client?
