Thread: Backend crashed with status 139 ( may be long SQL query)

Hello all.

When i had tried to insert into text field text (length about 4000 chars), the backend have crashed with status 139.
Thiserror is happened when the query length ( SQL query) is more than 4095 chars. 
I am using PostgreSQL 6.4.2 on Linux.

My questions are:
1. Is there problem with text field or with length of SQL query?
2. Would postgresql have any limits for SQL query length?

Thanks for help

Hello all ...

How do I name a column in an SQL query. In Oracle I would use

    select now() 'the time now';

how is this done in PostgreSQL?

Thanks ...

Always test your code ;-)

idas_demo=> select now() as 'the time now';
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "'"
idas_demo=> select now() as "the time now";
the time now

(1 row)

idas_demo=>

Hmm, seems since the string is a fieldname, it needs doublequotes.
