Uhm, doesn't the spec have anything to say about this? I mean, the view sure looks like standard SQL on its face. In any case, I would sure think there was something strange about a query working fine as a select but not working in a view: slo=> select 'foo' as a,'bar' as b; a | b -----+----- foo | bar (1 row) slo=> create view x as select 'foo' as a,'bar' as b; WARNING: Attribute "a" has an unknown type Proceeding with relation creation anyway WARNING: Attribute "b" has an unknown type Proceeding with relation creation anyway CREATE VIEW slo=> select * from x; a | b -----+----- foo | bar (1 row) -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
