If the table has existed for some time (like, across updates of the underlying operating system) then your problem likely traces to changes in the OS' sorting rules for character strings: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes Such a change causes the unique key's index to be out of sort order and thus effectively corrupt from PG's viewpoint: searches may or may not find an entry that is there. Once that happens it's pretty easy for duplicate entries to get added. The fix is to REINDEX affected indexes. But if you already have duplicate entries in the table, you'll need to correct them before REINDEX will succeed. regards, tom lane
