try-create the unique constraint on each table that the geovalidation data passes through:
# @vegbien.geoscrub.geoscrub_output@
<pre><code class="SQL">
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "geoscrub_output__unique" ON geoscrub.geoscrub_output (

</code></pre>
the duplication occurs between @vegbien.public.geoscrub_input@ and @geoscrub.public.geoscrub@, so it happens in the flat-file export/reimport of the table
check the flat file for duplicates:
<pre>
$ wc -l exports/geoscrub_input.csv
3673412 exports/geoscrub_input.csv
$ <exports/geoscrub_input.csv sort -u|wc -l
3673402
</pre>
there are duplicated lines, so check if these are duplicated rows as well:
<pre>
<exports/geoscrub_input.csv sort|uniq --repeated
Argentina,Neuquen,"Los Lagos
Mexico,Michoacán,"Múgica
Mexico,Michoacán,"Tacámbaro
United States,TEXAS,WILSON,29.1,98.1666666666667
</pre>
only 1 of these is a complete row (the others are beginnings of multiline rows), so there is 1 duplicate row
try re-exporting @geoscrub_input.csv@:
<pre>
$ rm=1 exports/geoscrub_input.csv.run
<exports/geoscrub_input.csv sort|uniq --repeated
Argentina,Neuquen,"Los Lagos
Mexico,Michoacán,"Múgica
Mexico,Michoacán,"Tacámbaro
United States,TEXAS,WILSON,29.1,98.1666666666667
</pre>
the row is still duplicated, so the duplication must be occurring in the flat-file export process
determine whether this row is represented differently in the DB than as plain text:
<pre><code class="SQL">
SELECT * FROM geoscrub_input WHERE (country, "stateProvince", county) = ('United States', 'TEXAS', 'WILSON');
</code></pre>
this produces 2 identical rows:
|country|stateProvince|county|decimalLatitude|decimalLongitude|
|United States|TEXAS|WILSON|29.1|98.1666666666667|
|United States|TEXAS|WILSON|29.1|98.1666666666667|
this suggests that the problem is with the export of decimals
there is a Postgres setting "@extra_float_digits@":http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/runtime-config-client.html#GUC-EXTRA-FLOAT-DIGITS which controls this:
<pre><code class="SQL">
SET extra_float_digits = 3; -- the maximum
SELECT * FROM geoscrub_input WHERE (country, "stateProvince", county) = ('United States', 'TEXAS', 'WILSON');
</code></pre>
this shows the difference:
|country|stateProvince|county|decimalLatitude|decimalLongitude|
|United States|TEXAS|WILSON|29.1000000000000014|98.1666666666666714|
|United States|TEXAS|WILSON|29.0999999999999979|98.1666666666666714|
after setting @extra_float_digits@ globally, recheck the flat-file:
<pre>
$ rm=1 exports/geoscrub_input.csv.run
<exports/geoscrub_input.csv sort|uniq --repeated
Argentina,Neuquen,"Los Lagos
Mexico,Michoacán,"Múgica
Mexico,Michoacán,"Tacámbaro
</pre>
there are no more duplicate rows, so the problem appears to be solved
after rerunning the geoscrubbing process, however, the error still occurs. again, try-create the unique constraint on each table that the geovalidation data passes through:
# @vegbien.public.geoscrub_input@:
now has a permament unique constraint for this
# @geoscrub.public.geoscrub@:
<pre><code class="SQL">
-- in geoscrub DB:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "geoscrub_output__unique" ON geoscrub (
(array["decimallatitude"]), (array["decimallongitude"]), (array[country]), (array["stateprovince"]), (array[county])
);
Query returned successfully with no result in 42299 ms.
</code></pre>
# @vegbien.geoscrub.geoscrub_output@
<pre><code class="SQL">
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "geoscrub_output__unique" ON geoscrub.geoscrub_output (
(array["decimalLatitude"]), (array["decimalLongitude"]), (array[country]), (array["stateProvince"]), (array[county])
);
ERROR: could not create unique index "geoscrub_output__unique"
DETAIL: Key ((ARRAY["decimalLatitude"]), (ARRAY["decimalLongitude"]), (ARRAY[country]), (ARRAY["stateProvince"]), (ARRAY[county]))=({43}, {-1}, {ES}, {NULL}, {NULL}) is duplicated.
</code></pre>
try restarting Postgres and reexporting, to ensure the @extra_float_digits@ config param is in effect:
<pre>
make postgres_restart
rm=1 inputs/.geoscrub/geoscrub_output/geoscrub.csv.run export_ &
</pre>
check the flat file:
<pre>
<inputs/.geoscrub/geoscrub_output/geoscrub.csv sort|uniq --repeated
19.0288889999999995,-102.055278000000001,Mexico,Michoacán,"Múgica
Departamento",Argentina,Neuquén,,1,3,3,0
Múgica Municipio",Mexico,Michoacán,,1,3,3,0
Tacámbaro Municipio",Mexico,Michoacán,,1,3,3,0
</pre>
none of these are complete rows, so there are no duplicate rows in the flat file
look further at the row that was reported as duplicated:
<pre><code class="SQL">
-- in geoscrub DB:
SELECT * FROM geoscrub
WHERE
(ARRAY[country], ARRAY[stateprovince], ARRAY[county]) = (ARRAY['ES'], ARRAY[NULL], ARRAY[NULL]) ARRAY[NULL]);
AND round(decimallatitude::numeric, 4) = 43
AND round(decimallongitude::numeric, 4) = -1
;
1 row retrieved.
</code></pre>
this only returns one row, so the duplication is not likely here. check @vegbien.geoscrub.geoscrub_output@:
<pre><code class="SQL">
-- in geoscrub DB:
SELECT * FROM geoscrub.geoscrub_output
WHERE
(ARRAY[country], ARRAY["stateProvince"], ARRAY[county]) = (ARRAY['ES'], ARRAY[NULL], ARRAY[NULL])
AND round("decimalLatitude"::numeric, 4) = 43
AND round("decimalLongitude"::numeric, 4) = -1
;
2 5774 rows retrieved.
</code></pre>
this does return multiple rows as expected, so the problem must be in the flat file
