Hello,

I am experiencing a strange thing on my production database server, which I 
can't explain.

On my production database server, there is a table called "label_suggestion" 
which has a unique constraint on the "name" column. If I do a "\d+ 
label_suggestion" I can see, that the unique constraint shows up with

"label_suggestion_name_unique" UNIQUE CONSTRAINT, btree (name)

in the output. But when I execute the following query

SELECT name FROM label_suggestion GROUP BY name HAVING COUNT(name) > 1

I can see that there are actually entries with a duplicate name in the 
database, which makes me believe that the unique constraint isn't there at all. 
(or at least it's not enforced)

Next, I dumped the complete production database (via pg_dumpall) and applied 
the dump on my local machine. I did again a "\d+ label_suggestion" and now the 
unique constraint doesn't show up anymore.

Anyone an idea what's going on here?

(Both the production database server and my local database server are running 
at version 9.6.18)

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks,
Bernhard
