Right. ON CONFLICT is a means for dealing with duplicate-key errors in the specified (or inferred) unique index. It is *not* an all-purpose error catcher. In the case at hand, the given INSERT request fails due to not-null constraints that are unrelated to what the ON CONFLICT clause tests for. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
