Documentation oversight, evidently :-(
regards, tom lane
I have a piece of commercial software that does a query like so:
CREATE TABLE chargelimits (id int NOT NULL, user_id int NOT NULL, limit
float NOT NULL )
but the postgresql 7.0 gives a parse error near "limit".
Is limit a reserved keyword?
If so, then it is not in the list of reserved keywords.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a type password; the goal is to have a table like:
CREATE TABLE test (
username varchar,
pass passwd);
insert into test values ('me','secret');
and have "secret" being automagicly crypted.
What I want is to mimic the PASSWORD function of mysql but much better,
not

Peter my guess is you can just substitute the variable name in for the
actual sortfield name..
select * from company order by $field;
That's why variables BEGIN with denotation characters in Perl rather than
ending with them (like in basic)..
Anyway, let me know if that works... and which modul
Hi-
I'm a newbie at postgresql and was working on
sorting by category. What my question is, how do you

$sqh->execute();
but what i
