An upgrade from 2.3.8 to 2.5.2 bombed. (I'll post that error after things are back to working order.) So I uninstalled everything and deleted files and reinstalled 2.3.8 and then imported the datadump taken from just prior to maintenance work.

I see everything from the datadump, but when I start to post a new message I get a SQL error. pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR: Cannot insert a duplicate key into unique index fud23_msg_pkey

I'm using PostgreSQL 7.3.3 I have reindexed the table fud23_msg. I have dropped the constraint on fud23_msg_pkey and recreated the index, but the php code continues to want to reuse one of the message id's.

Any suggestions?

The old data import has a bug when dealing with PosgreSQL it does not set the new id for the primary key. Fortunately this problem is easily solved.
For all the forum tables that have an 'id' field do the following:
SELECT MAX(id) FROM TABLE_NAME;
SELECT setval('TABLE_NAME_seq_id', MAX_ID);

Thanks. A little time consuming, but it worked beautifully. I figured out that it was related to the sequence, but couldn't figure out how to update the values in the sequesnces.

Thank you.

I am glad that you were able to correct the problem, could you please tell me the nature of the problems you've experienced when you tried to upgrade from 2.3.8 to 2.5.2?

It looks like you've covered them here.

So have the 2.5.2 upgrade files on the download page been updated with these fixes?
