Also, SQL names are folded to lowercase unless they are quoted, so

TEMPLATE = Default

would refer to a database called "default" (if it weren't special syntax
for template1), but

TEMPLATE = "Default"

should find a database created with CREATE DATABASE "Default".

What am I doing something wrong?


So you have a database named Default?

Probably not a good name because:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/sql-createdatabase.html

template
The name of the template from which to create the new database, or 
DEFAULT to use the default template (template1).


So at a guess you are actually creating the new database from template1.



Thanks,

[SQL] Creating a new database with a TEMPLATE did not work

2013-02-25 Thread mkumbale
Hi, I am new to PostgreSQL.  I have an empty PostgreSQL DB containing tables
but no data.  I issued the following command in PGADMIN SQL editor:

CREATE DATABASE "NewDefault"
  WITH OWNER = postgres
   ENCODING = 'UTF8'
   TEMPLATE = Default
   TABLESPACE = pg_default
   LC_COLLATE = 'English_United States.1252'
   LC_CTYPE = 'English_United States.1252'
   CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;

Although it created the NewDefault DB, it does not contain any of the tables
in Default.  Default was disconnected when I executed this command.  

What am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

[SQL] Euclidean distance between two sets of tuples

2013-02-25 Thread Surfing

Hi all,
I would like to ask if there exists a function to calculate the 
Euclidean distance between two rows of the same table.
Obviously, the distance between two non-numeric fields should be 0 if 
they are the same value, 1 otherwise.


In general, I need to compute an average distance between the subsets of 
rows, computed pairwise.

Example:
- Set 1: 10 rows
- Set 2: 15 rows
- Distances computed 150
I just need the value 1/150*(Sum of all the computed Euclidean distances).

I could write a procedure, but it would be nice if there already exists 
a function which at least computes a single Euclidean function between 
two rows.


Any suggestion?

Thank you.
