Re: Duplicate indexes found in the postgres Database

Sorry, the owner of the database decided to reload the database and we have
lost the duplicate entries. If it happens again I will send you the info.

Now that I look at it, pg_tables is not a join in 7.2, but just a
straight select from pg_class. So the problem is definitely in
pg_class. Let's see the results of

select ctid,xmin,xmax,oid,* from pg_class where relname = 'vm_message';

and similarly for the other duplicates.

Hm. Trying to avoid theorizing in advance of the data...
