Hallo,

I have a question in postgreSQL. I need your help!

I execute the psql as PostgreSQL 7.2 devel Documentation.

But there is an Error:"ERROR: Relation "faxeingang" does not exist".

But the table "Faxeingang" is actually exist in Database "data"

my system: SuSE Linux 8.0, PostgreSQL 7.2.2, bash.

data is datebaseName.

faxeingang is TableName.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under is my command:

TuxFax:~ # echo "\x \\ select * from "Faxeingang";" | psql -U postgres data

Expanded display is on.

invalid command \

TuxFax:~ # echo "select * from "Faxeingang";" | psql -U postgres data

ERROR: Relation "faxeingang" does not exist

TuxFax:~ # echo "select * from Faxeingang;" | psql -U postgres data

ERROR: Relation "faxeingang" does not exist

TuxFax:~ # echo "select * from ""Faxeingang"";" | psql -U postgres data

ERROR: Relation "faxeingang" does not exist

TuxFax:~ # psql data -U postgres -c "select * from "Faxeingang""

ERROR: Relation "faxeingang" does not exist

TuxFax:~ # psql data -U postgres -c "select * from Faxeingang"

ERROR: Relation "faxeingang" does not exist

PostgreSQL 7.2 devel Documentation

psql

Name

psql --  PostgreSQL interactive terminal

Synopsis

psql [option...] [dbname [username]]

Description

psql is a terminal-based front-end to PostgreSQL. It enables you to type in queries interactively, issue them to PostgreSQL, and see the query results. Alternatively, input can be from a file. In addition, it provides a number of meta-commands and various shell-like features to facilitate writing scripts and automating a wide variety of tasks.

Options

-c command
--command command

Specifies that psql is to execute one command string, command, and then exit. This is useful in shell scripts.

command must be either a command string that is completely parsable by the server (i.e., it contains no psql specific features), or it is a single backslash command. Thus you cannot mix SQL and psql meta-commands. To achieve that, you could pipe the string into psql, like this: echo "\x \\ select * from foo;" | psql.

If "autocommit" is on, multiple queries in a single string are processed in a single transaction.
