Thread: Separate Sessions?? (View data <-> Query tool)

Separate Sessions?? (View data <-> Query tool)

From

Hi,
I'm administering a Pg8.3 database with PgAdmin3.

The users need views "pre" filtered on a session based vairable wich is
stored in a temporary table. Immediately after logging into the database the
client software creates a temporary table and stores an idin that. The users
query views when they want to see the contents of a filtered table and
modify the tables directly - which tables have BEFORE UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT
trigers to check the existence of the Temp table and to force filter field
values to be defaulted to the temporary table field. I hope it is clear...
:)

When I log in with PgAdmin I have to create the temp table manually. It's
ok, and if I use the query tool i cansee query the views after creating the
temp table. But if I want to see the contents of a view in table view (View
Data-View all rows), the views are empty indicating that it lacks of the
temporary table. When I view directly the table (not the view) and try to
edit a field the trigger refuses it because of the lack of temp table.

I guess View data function establishes a separate connection to the database
to serve the query - or what??
How could I force PgAdmin3 to use the same session or how could I make the
table view to see the session wide temp table which was created earlier in a
query tool?

Many thanks,

I'm guessing that you're creating tables like:

create temporary table blah blah blah

and can't see them from other connections?  That's normal.  If you
want to be able to see tables from multiple sessions you need to
create regular tables.

Scott,
I'm afraid I posted my letter to the wrong list. I wanted to post to the
pgAdmin not "simply" admin. Sorry for confusion.

Yes, I do use CREATE TEMPORARAY TABLE statement and I know that temp table
lives only during the sessionor transaction. This is what I need. My meant
that I'd like _pgAdmin3_ to use the same session both in the query tool and
the view data tool to be able to use the temp table while modifying the data
via view data tool.

I hope this message will now directed to the pgadmin.support list.

Thank you,
