Re: delete one column in table

For most rdbms you would use ALTER TABLE, for postgresql you can't. Lets say you originally created CREATE TABLE example ( col1 varchar, col2 varchar, colthree numeric); then realized colthree was in the wrong table. you can: CREATE TABLE temp AS SELECT col1,col2 FROM example; DROP TABLE EXAMPLE;

Re: call a windows application (.exe) via perl

RE: delete one column in table

if you cannot ALTER TABLE, I find it quicker to do it as below (using Dave's example...): SELECT col1,col2 into tempTable from exampleTable This leaves off col3 data and retains formatting information for other columns, then you can do this: DROP exampleTable SELECT * into exampleTable from tem
