dovecot - Apr 2020 - Re-to-archived-thread: Dict issue with PostgreSQL for last_login plugin (duplicate key)

Hi,

I have tried to implement last_login with PostgreSQL and I found an old thread
from June 2019. I have found a simple solution that I want to share with you:

I followed the instructions on how to set up a last_login on the official
documentation. Therefor I creates a very simple table having userid and
last_login fields. Added plugin and dict information.

I received the duplicate key errors and I did this trick for now, which seems to
solve this issue:

CREATE OR REPLACE RULE insert_to_update AS
        ON INSERT
        TO users WHERE EXISTS (SELECT userid FROM users WHERE userid =
NEW.userid)
        DO INSTEAD
        UPDATE users SET last_login = NEW.last_login WHERE userid = NEW.userid

With this rule in place, INSERTs are changed to UPDATEs, if a userid entry
already exists. No ned to patch code.

Feel free to comment :-)

Christian
