Hi,
Please note that the source and the target point to ids in different
tables. pl_from points to id in page table (page_id) but pl_target_id
points to id in linktarget table (lt_id). Also note that pages can link to
non-existent pages (that's one of the reasons the target doesn't point to
page_id but to a different table).

Hope that helps, let me know if it doesn't fix your problem.

Best
