I want to alter the length of a column without dumping an re-creating the
table.
I found this method in the archives and was just wondering if there are any
side effects...
-
update pg_attribute set atttypmod = [column_oid] where attname =
'[column_name]' where
);
ERROR: ORDER BY on a UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT result must be on one of the
result columns
Is this a bug in beta3? One of those combinations should work!

Excellent! That worked! Thank you once again Tom! I was under the
impression that you couldn't use an alias in the ORDER BY. Obviously, I was
mistaken.
Thanks,

Hey All,
We have a need to grant privileges on entire databases to users and/or
groups. It looks like GRANT just grants on tables and sequences, but I'd
like to know if there's a more direct way to do it. What I'm doing now
is getting a list of tables and sequences and calling grant for
: SELECT a.x/b.y FROM vals a, (SELECT y FROM vals WHERE y 0) b WHERE (a.x
: / b.y) 1;
How much of a performance hit is there when using a select in the FROM
clause? Is it even noticeable? How much better is it to create a static
view?

Is there any way to trap the NOTICE output (specifically in PHP)? I would
like to impliment an EXPLAIN feature in phpPgAdmin and have been
unsuccessful in finding a way to do this because all the information
returned by EXPLAIN is in a NOTICE.
Any ideas?

A step in the right direction for this to have the system catalog have
pg_user_* views. So dor databases we have:
create view pg_user_database as
select * from pg_database where pg_get_userbyid(datdba) = CURRENT_USER
Of course, this doesn't account for superusers, but I'm sure there is a way

Ok... I think I found a bug... tell me if I'm smoking something on this:
I create a table with a mixed case name... everything works fine until I try
to use the sequence created with the SERIAL datatype.
test_db=# create table "mixed_Case" ("mix_id" SERIAL, "mix_var"
varchar(50));

Subject: [GENERAL] newbie question:
Use the column type of SERIAL in your create table statement. This will
automatically create a sequence and default for the given column.

Just recently added this functionality to phpPgAdmin. You can now update
the ACL of all the objects (tables, sequences, views) of a database at the
same time.
This will be part of the next release (2.2.1) which should happen this week
sometime. Look for the announcement.

I'm having problems with a trigger/function and I think it's actually a
system problem but I have no clue how to fix it. The trigger is supposed to
automatically timestamp the record when it is altered.
I've never used anything more than a sql function before so the plpgsql is
new to me.

That was it! Thanks Tom. I just put this functionality into phpPgAdmin and
of course it is taking the newline char from the browser's OS.
Thanks for all your help!

Is there a reason why _any_ user can create a table on a database? Even if
they do not own or have any permissions to it?
I don't think that should happen. Is there a specific reason why it does?

This was adapted from the psql source. Hope it's what you need.

Tom,
Thanks for the update on this query. I'm not positive where I found this
query, but I'm pretty sure it was for a v6.5x something. Anyway, thanks.
phpPgAdmin has been updated.

I was looking at the pg_dump and realized that it does not indicate the
primary keys.
Why is this? It does dump the primary keys with the indexed, however as far
as I could tell, it did not indicate anything as the primary key.
