Hi..

No. The only unique key is the myid, which is also the primary key. I have extracted the records out from this database and dump all to a new database. Everything is fine. But, this is the second time I have encountered this problem.

Hopefully those who have solutions for this can kindly post a feedback. THanks.

sounds like you have a UNIQUE constraint involving the column
"my_status".

did you recently create a new index on this table?

what does psql say to:
\d mytable
