Title: Between(Interval of two dates)  in Postgres







Hi,

can somebody tell me

How I can use the Oracle between function in Postgres?

Like this:

Select name from test

Where date_f between '31.01.2000'

And '31.01.2003'


Thanxx

Re: [GENERAL] German special characters Problem

2003-09-09 Thread Amin Schoeib
Is it possible to change the encoding on a existing
Database?

I mda this:

psql -l
   List of databases
   Name| Owner | Encoding
---+---+---
 test  | pgsql | SQL_ASCII
(1 rows)

I think for german and other european languages I must use UNICODE
But how can I change the encoding on the existing database 'test'

It can be anywhere in the datastream where the encodings don' tmatch. 
Usually it's how the database was 'initdb'

 No way:-( 
 
 But I think it's good point to TODO of the 7.5 release.

First of all I want to thank you for your quick response.

That would be very nice if it is possible.
But using to_char I can only set the format or is it in Postgres
Other?
When I would execute this:
select to_char(now(),'DD.Month,')
I would get the monthname in english but how can I perform with to_char
That I become the monthname in german??

I think you can do this if you are willing to use to_char() to format the dates for 
display.  There's no provision for such localization in the basic date or timestamp 
datatypes, though.

You can try

select CAST(cast('4' as NUMERIC(20)) AS varchar);

[GENERAL] Problems with GRANTING SELECT to a table

2003-09-02 Thread Amin Schoeib
Title: Problems with GRANTING SELECT to a table







Hi,

I have a problem with permissions for SELECT.


Here is what I did:


test=> GRANT SELECT ON "poi"."fondsstamm" TO "flex";

GRANT


test=> \dp fondsstamm;

    Access privileges for database "test"

 Schema |   Table    |   Access privileges

++---

 poi    | fondsstamm | {=arwdRxt,poi=arwdRxt,flex=r}

(1 row)


Now when I try to select from the table poi.fondsstamm

I become always the error: Permission denied,


> psql test flex

Welcome to psql 7.3.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.


Type:  \copyright for distribution terms

   \h for help with SQL commands

   \? for help on internal slash commands

   \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query

   \q to quit


test=> select * from poi.fondsstamm;

ERROR:  poi: permission denied


What am I doing wrong??
