Yep, only I could inject a bug into a mug. :-(
The correct query is:
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE pg_mug (contents TEXT);
INSERT INTO pg_mug VALUES('coffee'), ('sugar'), ('cream');
COMMIT;
That highlights our multi-value INSERT too. :-) With proper wrap it
would be:
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE pg_mug (contents TEXT);
INSERT INTO pg_mug
VALUES('coffee'), ('sugar'), ('cream');
COMMIT;
You can even add stirring:
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE pg_mug (contents TEXT);
INSERT INTO pg_mug
VALUES('coffee'), ('sugar'), ('cream');
-- stir
SELECT * FROM pg_mug ORDER BY random();
COMMIT;
FYi, I am just shooting out ideas until someone tells me to stop. ;-)
