Hi all,
What I'am trying to do using Postgresql is to make and "INSERT into
table A (2 fields) (select * from Table B) - (2 fields + unique btree
Index)" or a "COPY table_B from FILE using...". The problem is that
everytime I get duplicates from table A into table B the insert will
stop with the typical error: 'ERROR: duplicate key violates unique
constraint "string_idx"'
Q: Is there a way (like in MySQL's INSERT IGNORE) of going on with the
INSERT / COPY FROM ... even if a dupplicate / unique constraint
violation shows on! Somekind of a 'exception/error treating' routine
in SQL or PG-PL?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Victor
