Markus and Gábriel:
Thank you very much for the help.
Yes, the table is redundant. What I am trying to do is using pgdijstra
module from postGIS which is on the top of postgreSQL. And the module
asks for entire network is directional or non-directional. But my
network part is directional and other part is non-directional. I made it
is directional by duplicate all non-directional edges into 2 directional
edges and it is where redundant come from. And the module only accept
data from one table, so I have to keep all data in one table.
Thanks again.
Fay

This is ok, but this is redundant, i guess. you should put edge_id and
cost into another table and use join to retrieve cost for each id.
put a key on edge_id, most likely a primary (unique) key.
