Where's the array? Subqueries shouldn't result in arrays in any way, no? On my Bacula install there are no triggers on the `path' table and it's a very simple table: Table "public.path" Column | Type | Modifiers --------+---------+------------------------------------------------------- pathid | integer | not null default nextval('path_pathid_seq'::regclass) path | text | not null Indexes: "path_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (pathid) "path_name_idx" btree (path) so I'm a bit puzzled. Just to see, try expressing the query in two steps: SELECT path INTO TEMPORARY TABLE batch_path FROM batch GROUP BY path; INSERT INTO Path (Path) SELECT batch_path.Path FROM batch_path AS a WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM Path WHERE Path = a.Path); -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
