Hi,

When I:

Begin a transaction
DELETE from <table> where id (PK) = <somevalue>
INSERT INTO <table> VALUES (<values - same PK>)
...
...
...
COMMIT

I get

insert into "itinerary" ("dk", "locator") values ($1, $2) - duplicate key value violates unique constraint "itinerary_pkey"

<table> = itinerary?

What fields is unique constraint "itinerary_pkey" actually pointing at?

There should be more to the error message. Can you provide the complete message?


Do I need some particular kind of settings on my transaction to be able to delete and insert afresh in the same transaction?

In case it is relevant - the first delete will lead to cascaded deletes on children.

Alternatively I wonder if I change the PK column value to "<somevalue>-FORDELETION" will I be free to insert under the same original PK value in the same transaction, then delete the FORDELETE item just before committing or will I hit the same issue?

Thanks,

Andrew
