Duplicate key value violates unique constraint while saving ModelForm

Question

My views.py

class UserProfileFormView(View):
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        userform = UserForm(request.POST, prefix='users')
        userprofileform = UserProfileForm(request.POST, prefix='userprofiles')
        if userform.is_valid() and userprofileform.is_valid():
            new_user = userform.save()
            new_userprofile = userprofileform.save(commit=False)
            new_userprofile.user = new_user  
            new_userprofile.save() #### Error is here
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('users:welcome'))
        else:
            userform = UserForm(prefix='users')
            userprofileform = UserProfileForm(prefix='userprofiles')
            return render(request, 'users/signup.html', {'user_form': userform, 'userprofile_form': userprofileform})
    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        userform = UserForm(prefix='users')
        userprofileform = UserProfileForm(prefix='userprofiles')    
        return render(request, 'users/signup.html', {'user_form': userform, 'userprofile_form': userprofileform})

my models.py

class UserProfile(models.Model): 
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, verbose_name="user details")
    rewardpoints = models.IntegerField("rewardpoints", default=0) 

    def __str__(self):  
          return "%s's profile" % self.user.username  

my forms.py

class UserProfileForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = ['rewardpoints']

class UserForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'password']

While submitting the POST request, it gives me:

duplicate key value violates unique constraint "users_userprofile_user_id_key"
DETAIL:  Key (user_id)=(1) already exists.

Django-1.7, PostgreSQL 9.3.6.

I have even tried changing the database, running manage.py flush but still no luck. Please give me leads.

These are the Postgres tables:

Answer 1

The idea of having a separate table users_userprofile is probably to allow multiple entries for a single user.

(Else, if there can only be a single attribute rewardpoints per user, you would just add the column to the table auth_user and drop the table users_userprofile.)

The actual implementation contradicts this idea. You have a UNIQUE constraint on users_userprofile.user_id, which does not make sense:

"users_userprofile_user_id_key" UNIQUE CONSTRAINT, btree (user_id)

It causes the error and should probably be removed.
