Unique Constraint Failed, Why?

[Rob Mostyn]

I think this is called an aggregate function in sql Das.
It would return one or more rows with something like this:
23412	2
41232	4

The first column is the primary key that has a duplicate and the second column is the count of occurrences.
The above suggesting you have two records with 23412 as a primary key and 4 rows with 41232 as primary key.
This explains why you cannot implement a unique key constraint.  You could then manually adjust the primary keys and solve the problem.  The first question though, is how did the problem occur in the first place?  If the data was generated ages ago don’t bother to figure it out… just fix it.
