I am running postgresql-server-7.0.3-12mdk (Mandrake 8.0). The relevant part
of my build script looks like this:
create view included_works
as
select uuid, title as lhs
, trim(to_char(cast(year_of_publication as int), '0000')) as rhs
from works
where include=true
;
What pg_dump actually outputs is this:
CREATE TABLE "included_works" (
"uuid" character(36),
"lhs" character varying(80),
"rhs" text
);
I would be more appalled if I was less gobsmacked. Surely I'm doing
something wrong? But I can't find any reference to this in either the Admin
Guide or the Reference Manual (though admittedly I'm looking at the 7.1
ones -- the 7.0 ones didn't have any info on it at all, I think).
Help.
