Re: Error when trying to add DEFAULT Value to NEW column - Mailing list pgadmin-support

Ok, This was me. When I looked at the SQL statement to trace problem, I (sheepishly) used the wrong quotes !

 Can the single quotes be added automatically if they are not supplied?

Subject: [pgadmin-support] Error when trying to add DEFAULT Value to NEW column

Hi,

If this is a known issue, please ignore… just direct me to the fix:

Receiving an error “Column ‘no’ does not exist” when trying to add a default value to a new column via properties panel.

When you create the new column without a default value, it’s fine. The default value can then be added afterwards.

Also subsequent deletion and re-creation of the column does not produce the same condition and the default value can then be added with no further problems.

The error indicates the column “no” does not exist, but I am trying to add straight text to the default value. Can’t see why that field is trying to link/check columns. I have tried quotes.

Using Version 8.1 on Windows XP SP2 and pgadmin 1.4.1.

Thank you, kindly

L.
