The following command works as I want: psql -c "DELETE FROM prg_dates_members WHERE confirm = 'f';" comfire
I want to be able to run the above command as a cron job. I created a
script with the following command, but I get "ERROR: Attribute 'f' not
found":
su - postgres -c 'psql -c "DELETE FROM prg_dates_members WHERE confirm =
'f';" comfire'
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?
The bash manual page says:
A single quote may not occur between single quotes, even when preceded by a backslash.
So, try this one:
su - postgres -c "psql -c \"DELETE FROM prg_dates_members WHERE confirm = 'f'\" comfire"
It works perfectly! Thank you very much.
