Yes, but I want to know about the codes, not the text. If the codes exist,
they are easier to work with than the text.

I'm a bit confused about the current state of error codes in Pg. The
docs and
the mailing list archives seem to indicate that this is a TODO item,
however,
at least when using Perl with DBD::Pg, when I call $db->err() or examine
$DBI::err I get a number back. For instance, 7 if I try to insert

the second needs to be hung out on the internet, so I can't really use

Well, this may be exactly what we need, since a view is basically just a

I am trying to get my head around a complex problem I've been tasked

actual patches would be distributed via rpm's which we'd like to

I would like to call an external program from Pg. Specifically, I'd

I'm looking all over the place in the Pg docs and Momjian book and
having no luck finding any functions that would turn a timestamp such as

What would cause this trigger:

for each row
execute procedure update_host_table();
to only fire on the first insert per connection, but none of the subsequent inserts?
The trigger runs fine, the procedure it calls runs fine, but it only executes

I've finished upgrading to 7.1 and I'm still having trouble getting this view

view is attached, but Tom mentioned t

Well, if I had known what it took to satisfy the dependencies, I wouldn't

Hello,
It seems that there should be a way to install the DBD Pg module without
having to install postgres on the local machine. I tried installing
just the libs rpm, but that didn't seem to do the trick. I've done some

Why does postgres choke on the following:
alter table mytable add constraint mycolumn_pk primary key(mycolumn);
is this possible in a postgres database? if not, what's an easy
workaround, i really need to have this column as primary key.
Thanks!
