[ckan-dev] Group Addition

Mon Dec 2 16:45:55 UTC 2013

If you are using a recent version of CKAN, there is the API route for purging groups:
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/api.html#ckan.logic.action.delete.group_purge

I hesitate to suggest direct interaction with the database (not going through the API), but I have done this a few times to deal with an issue like this.  You don't want to try deleting records because of the complexity, but you could use an update statement to change the name of the 'deleted' group.  This would fix the issue with the unique constraint on the group name.

Subject: [ckan-dev] Group Addition

Dear all,

I am trying to add a new group at a CKAN installation! The name of the Group did exist in the past but it was deleted!
Therefore, I was expecting that I would be able to create it again. To my surprise when I try to create the group I am getting the following
error: "Group name already exists in database" and in order to complete the creation succesfully I have to change the URL of the group to something different.
Am I missing something obvious or this is the intended way ??

Best,

G.
