Re: [SQL] contrib/dblink suggestion

dblink is fine to use, and will continue to be shipped with PostgreSQL. 
Not sure where you heard about problems with it.

I've heard of at least two people who seem to be using dblink fairly 
heavily without problems. One recently reported something like 500 
million records transferred without error. I use it myself, but not in 
what I'd call heavy use.

If you are aware of any specific problems, please point me to them, and 
I'll fix them before the next release.

Thanks,

Joe

Re: [SQL] Returning PK of first insert for second insert use.

2002-07-30 Thread Christopher Kings-Lynne

You need to do something like this:

SELECT proj_id FROM t_proj WHERE oid=xxx;

To find value of primary key from oid.

You'll need to drop the triggers related to the foreign key.
You might want to look at the referential integrity documents
on techdocs.postgresql.org.

Would that be the same as:
select count(distinct skip_date) from weekend_list
 where ...

[SQL] formating numeric values

2002-07-30 Thread Elielson Fontanezi

Hello all!

I have some doubts about numeric formating.
The default formating for numeric values are "." as decimal
representation
and "," as milion separation.
How can I change ###,###.&& to ###.###,&&
