[ACCEPTED]-get_or_create failure with Django and Postgres (duplicate key value violates unique constraint)-postgresql

Accepted answer

Another possible reason for these errors 6 in get_or_create() is data type mismatch in one of the 5 search fields - for example passing False instead 4 of None into a nullable field. The .get() inside .get_or_create() will 3 not find it and Django will continue with 2 new row creation - which will fail due to 1 PostgreSQL constraints.

I had issues with get_or_create when using 2 postgres. In the end I abandoned the boilerplate 1 code for traditional:

try:
    jobInvite  = Invite.objects.get(sender=employer.user, job=job)
except Invite.DoesNotExist:
    jobInvite  = Invite(sender=employer.user, job=job)
    jobInvite.save()
# end try

Have you at some point had unique=True set 9 on Visit's profile field?

It looks like there's 8 been a unique constraint generated for postgres 7 that's still in effect. "table_visit_profile_id_key" is 6 what it's auto generated name would be, and 5 naturally it would cause those errors if 4 you're recording multiple visits for a user.

If 3 this is the case, are you using South to manage 2 your database changes? If you aren't, grab 1 it!

PostgreSQL behaves somewhat differently 5 in some subtle queries, which results in 4 IntegrityError errors, especially after you switch to 3 Django 1.6. Here's the solution - you need to add 2 select_on_save option to each failing model:

class MyModel(models.Model):
     ...
     class Meta:
         select_on_save = True

It's documented 1 here: Options.select_on_save
