Re: Duplicate indexes found in the postgres Database

Tom,

User was able to recreate the problem, but this time only on table got
duplicated 'gui_config'. So here is the info you wanted:

select ctid,xmin,xmax,oid,* from pg_class where relname = 'gui_config';
ctid | xmin | xmax | oid | relname | reltype | relowner | relam |
relfilenode | relpages | reltuples | reltoastrelid | reltoastidxid |
relhasindex | relisshared | relkind | relnatts | relchecks | reltriggers |
relukeys | relfkeys | relrefs | relhasoids | relhaspkey | relhasrules |
relhassubclass | relacl

Now that I look at it, pg_tables is not a join in 7.2, but just a
straight select from pg_class. So the problem is definitely in
pg_class. Let's see the results of

select ctid,xmin,xmax,oid,* from pg_class where relname = 'vm_message';

and similarly for the other duplicates.

Hm. Trying to avoid theorizing in advance of the data...
