Can't rename table in RedShift - postgresql

I run the following command through python3.3 psycopg2 package:
ALTER TABLE my_schema.tbl_old RENAME TO tbl_new
Before the command is run, my python code makes sure tbl_new does not exist.
However, I get the following error:
relation "tbl_new" already exists
Table structure:
bipilot=# select * from PG_TABLE_DEF where tablename='tbl_old';
schemaname | tablename | column | type | encoding | distkey | sortkey | notnull
------------+-----------+--------------+---------------+----------+---------+---------+---------
my_schema | tbl_old | price | numeric(10,2) | lzo | f | 0 | f
my_schema | tbl_old | price_date | date | none | f | 1 | f
my_schema | tbl_old | product_id | smallint | delta | f | 0 | f
No indices are defined.
Also, when I run the same RENAME command from psql shell, it works well.
Anyone can explain this strange behavior?
Thanks!!!

Problem found - bug in my python code - it was written 'tbl_Old' (instead of 'tbl_old').

Any way to find and delete almost similar records with SQL?

I have a table in Postgres DB, that has a lot of almost identical rows. For example:
1. 00Zicky_-_San_Pedro_Danilo_Vigorito_Remix
2. 00Zicky_-_San_Pedro__Danilo_Vigorito_Remix__
3. 0101_-_Try_To_Say__Strictlyjaz_Unit_Future_Rmx__
4. 0101_-_Try_To_Say__Strictlyjaz_Unit_Future_Rmx_
5. 01_-_Digital_Excitation_-_Brothers_Gonna_Work_it_Out__Piano_Mix__
6. 01_-_Digital_Excitation_-_Brothers_Gonna_Work_it_Out__Piano_Mix__
I think about to writing a little golang script to remove duplicates, but maybe SQL can do it?
Table definition:
\d+ songs
Table "public.songs"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Compression | Stats target | Description
---------------+-----------------------------+-----------+----------+----------------------------------------+----------+-------------+--------------+-------------
song_id | integer | | not null | nextval('songs_song_id_seq'::regclass) | plain | | |
song_name | character varying(250) | | not null | | extended | | |
fingerprinted | smallint | | | 0 | plain | | |
file_sha1 | bytea | | | | extended | | |
total_hashes | integer | | not null | 0 | plain | | |
date_created | timestamp without time zone | | not null | now() | plain | | |
date_modified | timestamp without time zone | | not null | now() | plain | | |
Indexes:
"pk_songs_song_id" PRIMARY KEY, btree (song_id)
Referenced by:
TABLE "fingerprints" CONSTRAINT "fk_fingerprints_song_id" FOREIGN KEY (song_id) REFERENCES songs(song_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
Access method: heap
Tried several methods to find duplicates, but that methods search only for exact similarity.
There is no operator which is essentially A almost = B. (Well there is full text search, but that seems to be a little excessive here.) If the only difference is the number of - and _ then just get rid of them and compare the the resulting difference. If they are equal, then one is a duplicate. You can use the replace() function to remove them. So something like: (see demo)
delete
from songs s2
where exists ( select null
from songs s1
where s1.song_id < s2.song_id
and replace(replace(s1.name, '_',''),'-','') =
replace(replace(s2.name, '_',''),'-','')
);
If your table is large this will not be fast, but a functional index may help:
create index song_name_idx on songs
(replace(replace(name, '_',''),'-',''));

Postgres 13 permission issues with Revoke

I am a relatively new user of Postgres 13. Let me first tell you, that the Postgres database is hosted on AWS aurora. I have a user that owns a schema and I have a specific table that this user should only be able to SELECT and INSERT rows to this table and execute TRIGGERS.
I have REVOKED ALL on this table for this user and GRANTED SELECT, INSERT, TRIGGER ON TABLE TO USER. The INSERT, SELECT, and TRIGGER work as expected. However, when I execute a SQL UPDATE on that table it still lets me update a row in that table! I also forgot to tell you I REVOKED ALL and performed the same GRANTS to rds_superuser on this table since this user is referenced to rds_superuser.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why does selecting all tables from postgres gives different results based on syntax used

If I log into postgres and switch to the postgres database, when I check for tables with this command I get nothing back:
postgres=# \c postgres
You are now connected to database "postgres" as user "postgres".
postgres=# \dt+
Did not find any relations.
However if I do a select on the DB tables I do see that the tables are there:
postgres=# SELECT *
postgres-# FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables
postgres-# WHERE schemaname != 'pg_catalog' AND
postgres-# schemaname != 'information_schema';
schemaname | tablename | tableowner | tablespace | hasindexes | hasrules | hastriggers | rowsecurity
------------+----------------+------------+------------+------------+----------+-------------+-------------
pgagent | pga_jobclass | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_job | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_jobagent | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_jobstep | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_schedule | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_exception | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_joblog | postgres | | t | f | t | f
pgagent | pga_jobsteplog | postgres | | t | f | t | f
(8 rows)
Why do I get nothing when I use \dt+ but I can see the tables using a select statement?
I think that this will help LINK
\d [NAME] describe table, index, sequence, or view
\d{t|i|s|v|S} [PATTERN] ("+" detail) list tables/indexes/sequences/views/system tables
\da [PATTERN] list aggregate functions
\db [PATTERN] list tablespaces (add "+" for more detail)
use \dt+ *
the * to match all as the command needs a pattern
The reason is that the pgagent schema is not on your search_path. \dt will only show those tables that you can access without schema qualification.

postgREST can find relation

I'm trying to set up postgREST. Have been following the tutorial at http://postgrest.org/en/v5.1/tutorials/tut0.html. Here is what I see. First, the schemas:
entercarlson=# \dn
List of schemas
Name | Owner
--------+---------
api | carlson
public | carlson
Then a table:
carlson=# \d api.todos
Table "api.todos"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default
--------+--------------------------+-----------+----------+---------------------------------------
id | integer | | not null | nextval('api.todos_id_seq'::regclass)
done | boolean | | not null | false
task | text | | not null |
due | timestamp with time zone | | |
Indexes:
"todos_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
Finally, some data:
carlson=# select * from api.todos;
id | done | task | due
----+------+-------------------+-----
1 | f | finish tutorial 0 |
2 | f | pat self on back |
(2 rows)
But then I get this:
$ curl http://localhost:3000/todos
{"hint":null,"details":null,"code":"42P01","message":"relation
\"api.todos\" does not exist"}
Which is consistent with this:
carlson=# \d
Did not find any relations.
What am I doing wrong?
PS. I don't see which database this schema belongs to
Seems you're targeting the wrong database, check the db-uri config value and make sure this uri contains the api.todos table through psql.
Also, want to clarify that the search_path is modified by PostgREST on each request, so if you ALTER your connection user search_path it'll have no effect on the schemas PostgREST searches.

Phoenix sqlline can not query system table SYSTEM.FUNCTION

I know Apache Phoenix will store all function metadata in SYSTEM.FUNCTION, but when I perform the query use following statement it will throw exception.

The table FUNCTION exist in SYSTEM schema, but can not query, in other hand, the table CATALOG in SYSTEM schema I can perform statement and retrieves the right data.

Can somebody explain why?
function, like select, is a reserved keyword. If you would like to refer to the table, enclose it in quotations (and it will also become case-sensitive).
