22037 — non_unique_keys_in_a_json_object

Source-backed reference for PostgreSQL SQLSTATE 22037.

22037

At a glance

The locked condition names a non-unique-key error for a JSON object. No fixed PostgreSQL 18.6 emitting path was resolved in the bounded scan.

Meaning

The definition identifies non_unique_keys_in_a_json_object, but the bounded PostgreSQL 18.6 source review did not resolve a native 22037 emitter. This page therefore records the condition identity and diagnostic boundary without assigning a SQL/JSON constructor, parser, primary text, DETAIL, or HINT.

Diagnosis

If a deployment reports 22037, keep the complete primary, DETAIL, HINT, invoking SQL/JSON operation, and version together. Use that context to determine which object and duplicate-key policy emitted the condition; do not replace it with the related 22030 duplicate-key construction path.

Response

Follow the actual emitter’s duplicate-key policy: normalize or reject repeated keys according to that operation’s documented rule. If an ERROR occurred in an explicit transaction, roll back or roll back to the existing savepoint before retrying; autocommit can retry the corrected action.

Versions

The locked catalogue records this condition from 12.0. Only the PostgreSQL 18.6 definition row is fixed here; no native emitting path or natural runtime observation is claimed.

Sources

The fixed definition row is errcodes.txt#L222. The bounded source review did not resolve a native 22037 emitting path; the structured evidence record keeps that unknown scope explicit, and no natural runtime was run.
