I want to insert data from one table ("tmp") into another ("tbla"), using the on conflict do update-feature.
My Code:
INSERT INTO tbla (id, col1, col2, col3)
SELECT id, col1, col2, col3 FROM tmp
ON CONFLICT on constraint pkey_tbla DO UPDATE SET col1=tmp.col1 FROM tmp;
DROP TABLE tmp;
This code gives me back an Syntax-Error at "FROM tmp;"
Without FROM there is the ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "tmp"
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
DB-Server is running on localhost at a windows 7-machine with postgres 9.5
Documentation "Note that the special excluded table is used to reference values originally proposed for insertion" https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-insert.html
Fix : ... DO UPDATE SET col1=EXCLUDED.col1;
x=> select * from tbla;
id | col1
----+------
1 | 2
2 | 3
(2 rows)
x=> truncate tmp;
TRUNCATE TABLE
x=> insert into tmp(id,col1) values (1,42);
INSERT 0 1
x=> INSERT INTO tbla(id,col1) SELECT id,col1 FROM tmp -- wrap line
ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET col1=EXCLUDED.col1;
INSERT 0 1
sh161119=> select * from tbla;
id | col1

I am looking for the best practice to define triggers and sequences on temporary tables with PostgreSQL.
When creating a temp table, PostgreSQL automatically creates a temporary schema with the name "pg_temp_nnn" (alias: "pg_temp")
It appears that one can create user functions and objects in this temporary schema.
I wonder if this is really valid SQL for PostgreSQL or just working by accident?
Tested with various PostgreSQL versions from 10 to 14.
Note: Triggers created on temp tables automatically land in the temp schema because the trigger inherits the schema of its table.
Tx!
CREATE TEMP TABLE tt1 (pk INTEGER NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(50));
CREATE SEQUENCE pg_temp.tt1_seq START 1;
CREATE FUNCTION pg_temp.tt1_srl() RETURNS TRIGGER AS
'DECLARE ls BIGINT;
BEGIN
SELECT INTO ls nextval(''pg_temp.tt1_seq'');
IF new.pk ISNULL OR new.pk=0 THEN
new.pk:=ls;
ELSE
IF new.pk>=ls THEN
PERFORM setval(''pg_temp.tt1_seq'',new.pk);
END IF;
END IF;
RETURN new;
END;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE TRIGGER tt1_srlt BEFORE INSERT ON tt1 FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE pg_temp.tt1_srl();
INSERT INTO tt1 (name) VALUES ('aaaa');
SELECT 'Insert #1:', currval('pg_temp.tt1_seq');
INSERT INTO tt1 VALUES (0,'bbbb');
SELECT 'Insert #2:', currval('pg_temp.tt1_seq');
INSERT INTO tt1 VALUES (100,'cccc');
SELECT 'Insert #3:', currval('pg_temp.tt1_seq');
INSERT INTO tt1 (name) VALUES ('dddd');
SELECT 'Insert #4:', currval('pg_temp.tt1_seq');
SELECT * FROM tt1 ORDER BY pk;
Output:
CREATE TABLE
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE FUNCTION
CREATE TRIGGER
INSERT 0 1
?column? | currval
------------+---------
Insert #1: | 1
(1 row)
INSERT 0 1
?column? | currval

Insert #2: | 2
(1 row)
INSERT 0 1

Yes, that works and is supported.
Creating objects in schema pg_temp creates temporary objects that will be removed when the session ends. CREATE TEMP TABLE x (...) is the same as CREATE TABLE pg_temp.x (...).
I have a table on which I want to have two different partial unique indexes that include unique constraints on different columns, based on a the value of another column in the table (which is a foreign key). Here's an example:
id | col1 | col2 | col3 | col4
------------------------------
1 | 3 | 4 | 'a' | 13
2 | 2 | 2 | 'b' | 431
3 | 3 | 4 | 'b' | 18
4 | 10 | 8 | 'b' | 211
Let's say in this table I want:
to put a partial index on all the rows where col4=13 OR col4=18 with a unique constraint on col1, col2, and col3
to put a partial index on all the rows where col4<>13 AND col4<>18 with a unique constraint on col1 and col2
The problem is that I want to do this based on the value of a column in another table since col4 is a foreign key. This SO post asks a similar question but there isn't really a solution. Here is what I've done with pl/pgsql:
DO
$$
DECLARE
-- typical subquery
option1_id INTEGER := (SELECT id FROM option_table WHERE name = 'option1');
option2_id INTEGER := (SELECT id FROM option_table WHERE name = 'option2');
BEGIN
RAISE INFO '%, %', option1_id, option2_id;
-- option1
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX option1_index ON ex_table (col1, col2) WHERE (
col4 NOT IN (option1_id, option1_id)
);
-- option2
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX option2_index ON ex_table (col1, col2, col3) WHERE (
reference_type IN (option1_id, option2_id)
);
-- this works!
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX this_works ON ex_table (col1, col2, col3) WHERE (
reference_type IN (13, 18)
);
END
$$;
Here is the error that I'm getting:
ERROR: column "option1_id" does not exist
I know the variables are properly declared because the RAISE INFO is returning INFO: 13, 18
DDL statements doesn't support parametrization - you cannot to use any variables there. You should to use dynamic SQL (in this case without clause USING):
EXECUTE format('CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ... WHERE reference_type IN (%L, %L)', option1_id, option2_id);
I need to mass insert all the values from col_a into another table. I can do it one at a time like this:
INSERT INTO table_2 (col_a_id)
SELECT 'col_a_id'
FROM table_1
WHERE col_a = 'x';
But is there a way I can just insert all the columns?
EDIT
Lets say I have this table:
Col_a | Col_b |
------------------------
1 | a |
2 | b |
3 | c |
Instead of checking what is in col_a can I just insert each instance of col_a into a table? so I'll have 1, 2 & 3 in table_2?
INSERT INTO table_2 (col1, col2, col3, .... , coln)
SELECT col1, col2, col3, .... , coln
FROM table_1
WHERE col_a = 'x';
Note: String are separated by single quote
SELECT 'this is a string'
Fieldname use double quote:
SELECT "myFieldName", "col1"
EDIT:
If you want check all columns for 'x'
WHERE 'x' IN (col1, col2, col3, .... , coln)
when I use execute command to run a sql cmd, I want to get the result of it.
As we know, I can get total counts by variable sc when I use :
execute 'select * from table" into sc;
But How can I get result by using:
execute 'delete from table1'"?
when I use INTO, it turns out
ERROR: "INTO used with a command that cannot return data"
execute 'WITH row_deleted AS (DELETE FROM table1 RETURNING *) SELECT count(*) FROM row_deleted' into c;
You can use it inside a plsql funtion as following:
--Drop the table and the functin if it exist:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table1;
DROP FUNCTION if exists _deleted_rows();
--Create the table for the example:
CREATE TABLE table1
(
row_id serial NOT NULL,
col1 character varying,
CONSTRAINT table1_pkey PRIMARY KEY (row_id)
);
--Insert some rows:
insert into table1 (col1) values ('test1');
insert into table1 (col1) values ('test2');
insert into table1 (col1) values ('test3');
--Ctreate the function that count the number of deleted rows of the table: table1
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION _deleted_rows()
RETURNS character varying AS
$BODY$declare
nbr_deleted integer;
begin
execute 'WITH row_deleted AS (DELETE FROM table1 RETURNING *) SELECT count(*) FROM row_deleted' into nbr_deleted;
return (nbr_deleted);
end;$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE;
Test that function (got problem building shema on sqlfidlle):
select * from _deleted_rows();
_deleted_rows

It's a little unclear to me what you are trying to do, but you should be able use "RETURNING". Here I am just returning the rows that were deleted:
CREATE TEMP TABLE foo(id int, description text);
INSERT INTO foo VALUES
(1, 'HELLO'),
(2, 'WORLD');
DELETE FROM foo returning *;
+----+-------------+
| id | description |
+----+-------------+
| 1 | HELLO |
| 2 | WORLD |
+----+-------------+
(2 rows)
Also, if you need them moved "into" a table (for example), you could do something like:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS foo;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS deleted_foo;
CREATE TEMP TABLE foo(id int, description text);
INSERT INTO foo VALUES
(1, 'HELLO'),
(2, 'WORLD');
CREATE TEMP TABLE deleted_foo(id int, description text);
WITH x AS (DELETE FROM foo RETURNING *)
INSERT INTO deleted_foo
SELECT * FROM x;
SELECT * FROM deleted_foo;
+----+-------------+
| id | description |
+----+-------------+
| 1 | HELLO |
| 2 | WORLD |
+----+-------------+
(2 rows)
Assuming that you are doing this from inside a plpgsql function, you could also use the ROW_COUNT variable. For example:
GET DIAGNOSTICS integer_var = ROW_COUNT;
This would give you the number of rows that were deleted.
I have a table A as:
Col1 Col2
1 D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb
2 D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb
I want select output a table has data as
Col1 Col2
1 ExtractText.vb
2 ExtractText.vb
Select in postgresql,
Can you help me ?
Something like
SELECT RIGHT('D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb', POSITION('\' in REVERSE('D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb')) -1 );
On PostgreSQL.
mole=> CREATE TABLE A (Col1 INTEGER, Col2 VARCHAR);
CREATE TABLE
mole=> INSERT INTO A VALUES (1, 'D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb');
INSERT 0 1
mole=> INSERT INTO A VALUES (2, 'D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb');
INSERT 0 1
mole=> SELECT * FROM A;
col1 | col2
------+---------------------------------------------
1 | D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb
2 | D:\Akagane2\Source\SubModule\ExtractText.vb
(2 rows)
mole=> SELECT Col1, REGEXP_REPLACE(Col2, '.*\\', '') AS col2 FROM A;
col1 | col2
