Hi,
I get the following error when I try to insert into the table fees, even
when the primary and unique key are serial:
Warning: PostgreSQL query failed: ERROR: Cannot insert a duplicate key
into unique index fee_uk
INSERT INTO fees (registrar_name) VALUES ('blah');
Table 'fees'
Attribute | Type | Modifier
--------------------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------
fee_id | numeric(12,0) | not null default
nextval('general_seq'::text)
registrar_name | varchar(30) | not null
Indices: fee_pk,
fee_uk
I don't understand why I get this error when the fee_id column is serial
by default. How can I fix this error? And, how can I display what
value "nextval('general_seq'::text)" returns?
Thanks in advance,
Adelaide
