Обсуждение: Corrupt Index
Hi All, has anyone experienced corrupted unique indexes?
During a Patroni leader switchover, we had a situation where a unique index stopped "working", the index did not have records
Is there a way to test for index corruption? Anyone else had this issue before?
Thanks
that were in fact in the table and the table had duplicate records which should have been prevented by said unique index.
Fixing the duplicate records and reindexing seems to have fixed the problems, but I would like to be aware of it next time.

If the index was on a string type (text/varchar), the most likely explanation is a switch to a different OS version with inconsistent collation rules.
