Hi Fellow PostgreSQL users, Just a question here.
Is there any bad effect on the PostgreSQL performance If I encounter many fails on inserting records to database with primary key column. For example I have this table CREATE TABLE unique_items ( item_id text NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT unique_items_pkey PRIMARY KEY (item_id), CONSTRAINT unique_item_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (item_id) REFERENCES items (item_id) MATCH SIMPLE ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE ) WITH OIDS; With these valu: Unique items ------------ Item001 Then I have a program that insert 1(one) million times like this: Insert into unique_items(item_id) values('Item001) Ofcourse we all know that it will fail because there is already a record in the database. Would there be any bad effect on the database or none?
