Summary: Invalid results for primary key check
Initial Comment:
CREATE TABLE "sys"."way_nds" (
"way" int,
"idx" int,
"to_node" int
);
[copy into]
sql>ALTER TABLE way_nds ADD CONSTRAINT pk_way_nds PRIMARY KEY (way, idx);
!SQLException:assert:UPDATE: PRIMARY KEY constraint 'way_nds.pk_way_nds'
violated
0 tuples
sql>select count(way), way, idx from way_nds group by way, idx having
count(way) > 1;
0 tuples
The above error seems to be impossible since the second query is a check for it.

Message:
As the new test illustrates, it at least uncovers an error in counting
groups with NULLs.
NULLs are allowed here, because there is no enforced KEY constraint on the
table.
The table may have contained nulls that have been produced 'unnoticed' by
the table loader.
It may also be a partial correct administration of the failing ALTER,....

Message:
In the way_nds table I know almost beyond reasonable doubt that that table
doesn't contain null values; because that file is generated and should have
influenced the primary keys of the way table and node table...

Message:
Aha --- the key seems to be in the info that was lacking in the original
bug report: the data contains NULL values!
I cannot recall it exactly from my head but we'd need to check in the SQL
semantics for both key constraints and (grouped) counts;
I assume, the former does not allow NULLs --- in that case the error
message would be to be expected;
while the latter does ignore / not distinguish NULLs --- in that case the
result of the second query would be corrent, too.
In other words, I'm not sure that the given query is indeed a proper check
for the primary key constraint, given SQL semantics ...

Message:
A test has been added to the test suite.
It indicates that counting compound groups with NULLs leads to problems.

I am using 32bit oids, on a 64bit compilation.
CREATE TABLE way_nds (way integer, idx integer, to_node integer);
COPY 370896230 RECORDS INTO way_nds from
'/export/data1/konink/way_nds.csv' USING DELIMITERS ',', '\n', '''';
