It works. But why doesn't it work on my tables:

create table prautor(
nr int4,
pi int4,
primary key(nr,pi));

create table prauflage(
nr int4,
au int4,
pl text,
be text,
st int4,
vh bool,
ex int4,
primary key(nr,au));

prd=> create unique index i_te on prauflage(nr,au);
CREATE
prd=> cluster i_te on prauflage;
ERROR:  Cannot create unique index. Table contains non-unique values

Severity                : critical

Summary: 1.backend crash when frontend do cluster (sometimes!?), 2.cluster does not work

System Configuration
--------------------
  Operating System   : FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE

  PostgreSQL version : 6.5

  Compiler used      : gcc 2.7.2.1

Hardware:
---------
Pentium, 32 RAM

Versions of other tools:
------------------------
gmake 3.75, flex 2.5.4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem Description:
--------------------
This problem come from pg6.2.
cluster (unique index btree(4 filelds varchar(4))) not work - "cannot create unique index. Table contains non-unique values."
In pg6.4.2 command "cluster ind_un.." destroy all indexes on the table but index "ind_un" detroy fields form 2...
In pg6.5 - random one from:
1) ERROR: cannot create unique index. Table contains non-unique values.
2) pgReadData() -- backend closed ... (need restart frontend)
3) pgReadData() -- backend closed ... (need restart backend, frontend) 
4) pgReadData() -- backend closed ... (need restart backend, frontend, remove file "temp_1ddbc".) 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test Case:
----------
=>create table sns (n1 varchar(4), n2 varchar(4), n3 varchar(4), n4 varchar(4), name text);
CREATE
=>insert into sns values ('0','00','','','a');
INSERT 278624 1
=>insert into sns values ('0','01','','','b');
INSERT 278626 1
=>create unique index sn_b on sns using btree(n1,n2,n3,n4);
CREATE
=>cluster sn_b on sns;
ERROR: Cannot create unique index. Table contains non-unique values
=>cluster sn_b on sns;
pgReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
   This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
   before or while processing the request.
We have lost the connection to backend, so further processing is impossible.
 Terminating.

Hello all,

trying the new version of PgAccess (hope tomorrow will be available) I
discovered that clustering a table on an index loose also the NOT NULL
attributes from the original table. I know that the permissions are also
lost but didn't read anywhere about the NOT NULL.

Best regards,
