I'm a little burned out right now, so I figured I'll ask the
question before calling quits for tonight, and (hopefully) the
answer will be in my inbox come morning. ;)
I'm building a web app in php with Postgre as the backend db.
I'm pretty new to Postgre, but I've done a lot of work with
php+MySQL.
I have a simple table as follows:
create table sysinfo (
attname char(30) primary key,
attvalue text
) without oids
And if I start psql and enter:
"select * from sysinfo"
I get the expected list of name/value pairs that were entered
into the table at an earlier operation.
However, if I execute the same query using pg_query() in php,
I get the error:
Warning: pg_query() query failed: ERROR: Relation "sysinfo" does not exist in
/usr/home/group/webpages/epd/class/base.class.phpon line 44
This really confuses me, as "sysinfo" isn't even a relation and
why should the parser even imagine it to be a relation? I've
tried rearranging the SELECT statement (with and without WHERE
clauses, with and without FROM clause). Every incarnation I try
works fine in the psql program, but gives the same error (as above)
in php.
I'm using FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE as of April 23rd, Postgres 7.2.1_1,
mod_php4-4.2.0, and apache-1.3.24_7 all installed from FreeBSD
ports collection.
Any advice is much welcome.
