using PGAdminqueries:
SELECT * FROM analyzed_users;
SELECT * FROM time_table;
runs successfully. But query:
SELECT * FROM analyzed_users, time_table WHERE analyzed_users.id = time_table.userId
returns error:
ERROR: column analyzed_users.id does not exist
LINE 2: SELECT * FROM analyzed_users, time_table WHERE analyzed_user...
********** Error **********
ERROR: column analyzed_users.id does not exist
SQL state: 42703
Character: 49
I'm struggling with it for a while and I have no idea why it doesn't want to work..
The problem is in the WHERE clause in the second query:
WHERE analyzed_users.id = time_table.userId
The error is saying that analyzed_users.id doesn't exist in that table.
Check for and use the actual name of the column in analyzed_users that you want to compare to time_table.userId in the second query. That should fix the problem.

I am getting a syntax error when converting between SQL Server to PostgreSQL. Any thoughts?
IF (var_port_with_bmrk_total_mv != 0 AND var_bmrk_info IS NOT NULL) THEN
BEGIN
insert into t$tmp_diff
select #asof_dt asof_dt,#choiceID choiceID ,p.input_array_type ,p.group_order, CONVERT(DECIMAL(32,10),p.port_value/#var_port_total_mv) port_value,convert(decimal(32,10), isnull(bmrk_value/#port_with_bmrk_total_mv,0)) bmrk_value
from t$tmp_port_sum p, t$tmp_bmrk_sum b
where p.input_array_type=b.input_array_type and p.group_order = b.group_order
END;
ELSE
Original before conversion
insert into #tmp_other_diff
select #asof_dt asof_dt,#choiceID choiceID , b.input_array_type,b.grouping,convert(decimal(32,10),0) port_value, (bmrk_value/#port_with_bmrk_total_mv) bmrk_value
from #tmp_bmrk_other_sum b
where b.key_value not in ( select p.key_value from #tmp_port_other_sum p)
Error message:
Error occurred during SQL query execution
Reason:
SQL Error [42601]: ERROR: syntax error at or near ","
Position: 9030
the relevant comma being:
CONVERT(DECIMAL(32,10),p.port_value
There is no convert() function in Postgres. Use the SQL standard cast or the Postgres extension ::data type. In this case:
...., cast(0 as decimal(30,10)) port_value, ....
OR
...., 0::decimal(30,10) port_value, ...
Note: No comma after the expression. In the original port_value is the column alias. You need to keep it that way.
I have been struggling to assign the query result to a temp variable in PostgreSQL and I just can't get it to work. Can anyone guide please?
I tried with the both the below queries and I get the error shown below. I then tried with temp table. But it still fails during the assignment to the temp variable.
set var.ITEM_ID =(select t.item_id from api_item t inner join api_identifier i on i.item_id=t.item_id where i.value='99999');
set var.ITEM_ID = select t.item_id from api_item t inner join api_identifier i on i.item_id=t.item_id where i.value='99999';
The first statement throws the error :-

Second one throws the below error:-

EXECUTE 'select to_char(application_date::timestamp, 'Mon-YY') as appl_month from my_schema.my_table;';

Any suggestions will be helpful.

If I do the below query:

count(distinct application_id) as appl_count,
sum(final_approval_ind) as fa_count,
from my_schema.my_table

Problem: to_char() returns text and it sorts by text and not by date. So the output is jumbled rather than sorted by Mon-YY.
Do the aggregation in a derived table (aka "sub-query") that preserves the data type, then do the sorting in the outer query:
select to_char(ap_month, 'Mon-YY') as appl_month
appl_count,
fa_count
from (
select date_trunc('month', application_date) as ap_month,
count(distinct application_id) as appl_count,
sum(final_approval_ind) as fa_count,
from my_schema.my_table
group by ap_month
) t
order by ap_month;
date_trunc('month', application_date) will normalize the application_date to the start of the month, but will retain the date data type, so that the sorting in the outer query works correctly.
I have no idea what the dynamic SQL in your question is supposed to do, but if you need to use that query for whatever reasons as dynamic SQL, you need to escape the single quotes by doubling them.
execute '
select to_char(ap_month, ''Mon-YY'') as appl_month
appl_count,
fa_count
from (
select date_trunc(''month'', application_date) as ap_month,
count(distinct application_id) as appl_count,
sum(final_approval_ind) as fa_count,
from my_schema.my_table
group by ap_month
) t
order by ap_month;
'; -- end of dynamic SQL
But using Postgres' dollar quoting would be easier:
execute $dyn$
select to_char(ap_month, 'Mon-YY') as appl_month
appl_count,
fa_count
from (
select date_trunc('month', application_date) as ap_month,
count(distinct application_id) as appl_count,
sum(final_approval_ind) as fa_count,
from my_schema.my_table
group by ap_month
) t
order by ap_month;
$dyn$; -- end of dynamic SQL
Note that you can nest dollar quoted strings, so if that query is used inside a function, just use a different delimiter than you use for the function body (see the example in the manual)
I don't understand, why the following query produced an error. Whereas in other dbms (eg mysql) this sort of query is absolutely legal.
ERROR: Syntax error at the end of input
LINE 1: SELECT * FROM "addr_country" AS c JOIN "addr_state" AS s
^
SQL state: 42601
Character: 59
Adding an on-clause to the query makes it working:
SELECT * FROM "addr_country" AS c JOIN "addr_state" AS s
ON c."id" = s."country" AND s.id = 10
Due to this answer, MySQL makes a cross join out of a join w/o conditions
I have a database in postgreSQL. I want to read some data from there, but I get an error (column anganridref does not exist) when I execute my command.
Here is my NpgsqlCommand:
cmd.CommandText = "select * from angebot,angebotstatus,anrede where anrid=anganridref and anstaid=anganstaidref";
and my 3 tables
the names of my columns are rights. So I don't understand why that error comes. Someone can explain me why it does crash? Its not the problem of large and lowercase.
You are not prefixing your column names in the where clause:
select *
from angebot,
angebotstatus,
anrede
where anrid = anganridref <-- missing tablenames for the columns
and anstaid = anganstaidre
It's also recommended to use an explicit JOIN instead of the old SQL 89 implicit join syntax:
select *
from angebot
join angebotstatus on angebot.aaaa = angebotstatus.bbbb
join anrede on angebot.aaaa = anrede.bbbb
