Description: Alter table add column from PgAdminIII
Details:
Hi Postgres Experts,
I used PGAdmin III to add a character varying column(400) length, not null
default ''. I get the column displayed in psql when I do a simple query
like SELECT * from MyTable limit 1;
When I try to do Update MyTable set NewColumn='something'; I get the error
saying that the column doesn't exist.... It thinks it exists when I do my
select, but it doesn't recognize this new column in my UPDATE...
I'm scared... I have a deadline coming up and I'm praying this one gets
fixed soon.
Many thanks!
Mike
