Bug with sequence ?
First just let you know i solved my past issue, i used IPCHAINS to redirect port 80 to a non root port, look like there is some ressource system leaking in IPCHAINS, i moved from it to IPTABLE and all works fine now.
Back to postgres :)
let's say i have one table with the following schema:
Table test(num int not null primary key,.........);
i have a sequence to handle the num: create sequence test_num_seq;
When i insert a new tuple i use: insert into test values(nextval('test_num_seq'),......);
When i look at my postgres log, time to time i see:
2002-02-04 08:11:47 ERROR: Cannot insert a duplicate key into unique index test_pkey
It's really rare (considering the traffic i handle) but it shouldnt happen at all.
Ha using 7.2RC2 btw
Best regards

You sure that's the *only* way that the num column gets inserted or
updated?

Mine manifests with the sequence being updated, and then another process
comes along and tries to do the same operation and somehow gets the same
sequence.
All I can say is I've been over the sequence code with a flinty eye,
and I'm darned if I can see anything wrong with it. I don't think
we are going to make much progress on this without being able to
investigate a failure with a debugger.
A self-contained example that shows a failure (even if only rarely)
would be really useful. Anything less really isn't useful.

Well correcting the report:
by the past, i was used to have this trouble ( using 7.2b5 or prior and
ipchains)
the only 2 occurences i have now in my log are not linked to sequence so it
must occur sometime somehow but it has nothing to do with postgres.
However by the past, i had this trouble with sequence, i dont know if i get
rid off this issue updating to 7.2RC2 or moving to IPTABLE instead of
ipchains.
