Perhaps the tuple that caused the violation as well, like UNIQUE index violations already do? Even if we know what constraint has been tripped, we might not know what value did it. j...@josh# create table a (a integer); j...@josh*# create unique index a_unique on a (a); j...@josh*# insert into a values (1), (2), (3); j...@josh*# insert into a values (8), (3), (4); ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "a_unique" DETAIL: Key (a)=(3) already exists. -- Joshua Tolley / eggyknap End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com
