Thread: wrong generated sql query order

wrong generated sql query order

From

hi!

i had opened the table properties window and on the "columns" tab 
removed a column and immediately added a new one with the same name only 
of different type. this change failed due to a wrong sql query order; 
pgadmin had produced this
ALTER TABLE document_data ADD COLUMN locked_by text;
ALTER TABLE document_data DROP COLUMN locked_by;
instead of
ALTER TABLE document_data DROP COLUMN locked_by;
ALTER TABLE document_data ADD COLUMN locked_by text;

i am using pgadmin3 version 1.2.2 (jun 22 2005), installed from a rpm 
package provided by vasilev max. i am using suse linux 9.3 and am unable 
to build my own binaries on this machine so i cannot verify if this 
occurs on any other versions of pgadmin3.

i apologize if this is old news but i didnt find anything similair in 
the mailing list archives after a quick search.

cheers,
M

Hi!

Unfortunately, I can not confirm this bug. Please, show me full
structure of your table.

hi!

this happens to me on any table i've tried. here is a sample:

CREATE TABLE sampletable
(  col1 serial NOT NULL,  col2 int4
)
WITH OIDS;
ALTER TABLE sampletable OWNER TO adocuments;

this is a table in a "adocuments" schema, owned by the user "adocuments".

in the table properties pane, tab "columns" i then remove col2 and 
immediately add another column, by the name of col2 and type text and 
pgadmin produces the following queries:

ALTER TABLE sampletable ADD COLUMN col2 text;
ALTER TABLE sampletable DROP COLUMN col2;

i cannot at this time test this with any other version of pgadmin3 or on 
any other system.

btw, thank you for having provided a suse rpm, it helps immensely as i 
am atm not in position to compile it on my own :)

cheers,
Miha

This is a known issue. Don't do this ATM.
