We have a table with ~30 columns, named 'people' and we were going to
create a view for all record with 'relationship' equal to 1. The
database complains where using the '*' placeholder:
albourne=> CREATE VIEW employees AS SELECT * FROM people WHERE
relationship = 1;
ERROR: DefineQueryRewrite: rule plan string too big.
but accepts the same 30 columns on the command:
albourne=> create view employees as select
id,title,first_name,middle_name,last_name,suffix,company,job_title,address,city,zipcode,country,home_phone,home_fax,mobile,bus_phone,bus_fax,other_phone,e_mail_1,e_mail_2,url,birthday,christmas,brochure,golf,croquet,comment
from people where relationship=1;
CREATE
'*' is SQL92 (I think) so is this a bug or a known limitation?
The system is PostgreSQL 6.5.2 on alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f, compiled by cc.
Thanks
