I would dearly love to do
CREATE GROUP foo WITH USER CURRENT_USER;
in a script to psql(1), but this does not appear to be supported by the parser.
Two questions:
1. Does anybody have a good work-around for this?
2. Is there a document somewhere that says where functions are allowed in SQL
I would like to create a FOREIGN KEY constraint to an inherited column, like:
test=# CREATE TABLE foo(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY);
test=# CREATE TABLE bar() INHERITS (foo);
test=# CREATE TABLE baz (bar INTEGER, CONSTRAINT fk_bar FOREIGN KEY (bar)
REFERENCES bar(id));
ERROR: UNIQUE c
I obviously haven't had enough coffee yet... :-) The following script works as
expected.
drop database test;
create database test;
\c test
create table foo (id integer primary key);
create table bar () inherits (foo);
create unique index bar_id_idx ON bar(id);
create table baz (bar integer,

For lexical similarity, check out the agrep algorithm. Last I checked the

Tom, Stephan,
I'm writing up the date/time FAQ, and I came across some operator
behavior that confuses me:
If
INTERVAL / INTEGER = INTERVAL
then why does
INTERVAL / INTERVAL = ERROR?
Shouldn't
INTERVAL / INTERVAL = INTEGER?
I'd like to answer this before I finish the FAQ, as it seems
inconsis

Almost anything you port will break MS SQL Server (7.0 and 6.5, anyway).
SQL Server is so far off the ANS

Actually the operator appears to be INTERVAL / FLOAT8.

Because no one got around to creating an INTERVAL / INTERVAL operator.

Bummer. If I could "C" then maybe I'd do something about it.

It is kinda bogus, given the underlying semantics of intervals
(integer months plus float seconds). The problem already arises
for the existing interval * float8 and interval / float8 o
