Re: Record not returned until index is rebuilt

Thanks for the quick response.

It is PostgreSQL 8.0.6 running on Windows 2003 Server.

I haven't had any other issues with this particular piece of hardware 
and it is fairly new and well maintained (not that this matters much). 
I am going to try to drop and recreate this table, index, and the 
contents and see if I face any other problems.
