How to find a table having a specific column in postgresql
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I want to search for a particular variable name in ‘PostgreSQL’ database. Similar to the following ‘Teradata’ query
Select TableName, ColumnName from
DBC.Columns
Where ColumnName like (‘%profile%’)
Is there a similar query in PostgreSQL?

Postgres documentation
SELECT table_name,column_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE column_name like '%profile%'

I am trying to query a table using where clause in Postgres 12
case 1
SELECT *
FROM schema.e_employee_table
WHERE FK_EMPLOYEE=100;
so when i query the above query i get "FK_EMPLOYEE" column is missing.
case2:
SELECT *
FROM schema.e_employee_table
WHERE "FK_EMPLOYEE"=100;
when i query the above one i got the query results
So can someone explain do we need to put our column name inside "",is it the syntax. If so where it is mentioned in the official documentation.
And I can also see the column name we are mentioning is case sensitive.

I have postgres 12.3 and find an error in a simple MERGE statement like below:

USING (SELECT *
FROM dblc_stg.stg_lkup_home_language
WHERE home_lang_code NOT IN (SELECT home_lang_code
FROM dblc_stg.stg_lkup_home_language
GROUP BY home_lang_code
HAVING COUNT (*) > 1)) b
ON (a.language_cd = b.home_lang_code)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (a.language_key, a.language_cd, a.language_desc)
VALUES (NEXTVAL('SEQ_LKUP_LANGUAGE'),b.home_lang_code, b.home_lang_desc)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET a.language_desc = b.home_lang_desc ;
I hope I get some help
Thanks

Is SELECT or INSERT in a function prone to race conditions?

What is the easiest way to insert a row in a database and returning its id if that row doesn't exist, otherwise return the ID of that word?
INSERT INTO mytable (name)
SELECT 'd'
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT id FROM mytable WHERE name='d')
RETURNING id
This code works only if the row doesn't exist.
I either do that and then a SELECT, or try the INSERT with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING and then a SELECT again.
Is there a better solution?

Populate Postgres database with numbers 1-1000?

Closed 5 years ago.
I have a single table with a single column called id as shown below. I need to populate the table with numbers 1-1000, how can I do that with the scripting?
Use generate_series to this:
--Without column declaration
INSERT INTO "MyTable" SELECT generate_series(1, 1000);
--With column declaration
INSERT INTO "MyTable"(id) SELECT generate_series(1, 1000);

In a function, I have a SELECT query in a string, for example:
sql='SELECT * FROM A'
I want to execute sql output result of: SELECT * FROM A
How can I execute the string sql in PostgreSQL?
Inside a function use EXECUTE.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN
below one works fine in postgres 8.4
UDBI=> PREPARE query as select 1 as a;
PREPARE
UDBI=> PREPARE query
UDBI=> EXECUTE query;
a
