i have a perfectly valid sql statement that returns expected results, but
when i create a view based on the same sql, i get 0. similar views all
work correctly:
an example (to return primary keys):
SELECT pg_class.relname, pg_attribute.attname FROM pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_index WHERE pg_class.oid =
pg_attribute.attrelidAND pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid AND pg_index.indkey[0] = pg_attribute.attnum AND
pg_index.indisprimary = 't';
relname |attname
---------------+-------
active_sessions|sid
auth_user |uid
arraytest |control
(3 rows)
but w/ this:
CREATE VIEW blah AS
SELECT pg_class.relname, pg_attribute.attname FROM pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_index WHERE pg_class.oid =
pg_attribute.attrelidAND pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid AND pg_index.indkey[0] = pg_attribute.attnum AND
pg_index.indisprimary = 't';
SELECT * FROM blah;
relname|attname
-------+-------
(0 rows)
any pointers....i've seen similar references to this in the list
archives, but no leads....never really thought of creating all of this
stuff as views....still pretty green, i guess.
