Hi guys, Thanks for the input so far. No it wasn't a direct paste, what I did in fact type was SELECT sp_insert_manifest('me', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'test.txt', NULL, '2006/06/09'). The error message said something like function sp_insert_manifest(character varying, character

Hi List, I've been trying the following query from VB.NET: select * from my_table order by column1 limit 1. This query works flawlessly when I use the pgAdminIII query tool, but when I run this query from VB.NET, I get the following error: syntax error at or near "limit". Any ideas as to the caus

Hi list, I wrote a database creation script that begins with commands to drop the existing database (if it exists) and create it from scratch. These commands execute fine, the problem is that all subsequent commands are executed on the default database 'postgres'. What command can I use to set th
