Question

我有一个PostgreSQL数据库，它有一个表，主键应用于三列。根据数据库，密钥上有一个索引：

Indexes:
    "full_log_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (server_name, line_number, log_generation)

然而，一些简单的测试表明我有重复的密钥：

select count(*) from full_log;
  count
----------
 60644405

select count(*) from 
    (select distinct server_name, 
                     line_number, 
                     log_generation 
            from     full_log) as foo;
  count
----------
 60636564

显然，与行相比，不同的行（基于主键）更少。我的问题是，这怎么可能？

编辑：完整的表定义如下：

                 Table "public.full_log"
     Column     |            Type             | Modifiers
----------------+-----------------------------+-----------
 activity       | character(1)                |
 archivaldate   | timestamp without time zone |
 media_type     | character varying(5)        |
 vsn            | text                        |
 archive_set    | character varying(20)       |
 copy           | smallint                    |
 file_start     | integer                     |
 file_offset    | integer                     |

 file_type      | character(1)                |
 overflow       | integer                     |
 device_number  | integer                     |
 server_name    | text                        | not null
 path           | text                        |
 line_number    | integer                     | not null
 log_generation | integer                     | not null
Indexes:
    "full_log_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (server_name, line_number, log_generation)
Foreign-key constraints:
    "full_log_server_name_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (server_name) REFERENCES servers(server_name)
Rules:
    insert_update_full_log AS
    ON INSERT TO full_log
   WHERE (EXISTS ( SELECT full_log.activity, full_log.archivaldate, full_log.media_type, full_log.vsn, full_log.archive_set, full_log.copy, full_log.file_start, full_log.file_offset, full_log.fs_name, full_log.inode, full_log.file_length, full_log.file_type, full_log.overflow, full_log.device_number, full_log.server_name, full_log.path, full_log.line_number, full_log.log_generation
           FROM full_log
          WHERE full_log.server_name = new.server_name AND full_log.line_number = new.line_number AND full_log.log_generation = new.log_generation)) DO INSTEAD  UPDATE full_log SET activity = new.activity, archivaldate = new.archivaldate, media_type = new.media_type, vsn = new.vsn, archive_set = new.archive_set, copy = new.copy, file_start = new.file_start, file_offset = new.file_offset, fs_name = new.fs_name, inode = new.inode, file_length = new.file_length, file_type = new.file_type, overflow = new.overflow, device_number = new.device_number, path = new.path
  WHERE full_log.server_name = new.server_name AND full_log.line_number = new.line_number AND full_log.log_generation = new.log_generation

有关重复行的示例：

 select * from full_log where line_number = 6332986;
 activity |    archivaldate     | media_type |  vsn   | archive_set | copy | file_start | file_offset | fs_name |   inode    | file_length | file_type | overflow | device_number | server_name |                                           path                                            | line_number | log_generation

Answer 1

此查询返回什么内容？

select server_name, line_number, log_generation 
from full_log
group by server_name, line_number, log_generation
having count(*) > 1

将其与

进行比较可能会有所帮助

select line_number, log_generation 
from full_log
group by line_number, log_generation
having count(*) > 1

但可能没有。我认为这个条款

WHERE (EXISTS ( SELECT full_log.activity, 
                       full_log.archivaldate, 
                       full_log.media_type, 
                       full_log.vsn, 
                       full_log.archive_set, 
                       full_log.copy, 
                       full_log.file_start, 
                       full_log.file_offset, 
                       full_log.fs_name, 
                       full_log.inode, 
                       full_log.file_length, 
                       full_log.file_type, 
                       full_log.overflow, 
                       full_log.device_number, 
                       full_log.server_name, 
                       full_log.path, 
                       full_log.line_number, 
                       full_log.log_generation
               FROM full_log
               WHERE full_log.server_name = new.server_name 
                 AND full_log.line_number = new.line_number 
                 AND full_log.log_generation = new.log_generation))

可以简化为本条款。（虽然我认为这不会导致问题。）

WHERE (EXISTS ( SELECT full_log.server_name, 
                       full_log.line_number, 
                       full_log.log_generation
                FROM full_log
                WHERE full_log.server_name = new.server_name 
                  AND full_log.line_number = new.line_number 
                  AND full_log.log_generation = new.log_generation))

您说当您更改非键列的数据类型时，PostgreSQL会删除并重新创建索引。我没有看到这里发生的事情，我不确定我是否见过这种情况。我可能没有注意到更改是否成功，并且我不经常更改列的数据类型。（现在我已经说过了，我最后一次不能告诉你。）我现在有了PostgreSQL 9.0.2。

Answer 2

您使用的是表继承吗？如果是这样，PK不会跨子女强制执行（至少不是8.2）。

Answer 3

我怀疑是NULL值。也许查询是否有任何。

Answer 4

我已经看到当目标行的ctid由于之前的触发器而改变时会发生这种情况。无法回想起确切的步骤，但这基本上就是问题所在。

如果你在那里有触发器，我对这个相关主题的回答可能就是你遇到的：

What are PostgreSQL RULEs good for?

要点是：如果在发出插入/更新/删除语句时，postgres没有返回正确数量的受影响的行，则可能会遇到奇怪的问题。然后，规则（或使用后触发器）可以帮助摆脱它们。
