Thread: timestamp error cant find class for type 1296
When attempting to create the following table:
CREATE TABLE test (
id timestamp primary key,
fodder varchar(64)
);
I get the following error:
ERROR: Can't fine a default operator CLASS for type 1296
Whats that all about? ;)
If I create the table as follows (which AFAIK is equivilant):
CREATE TABLE test2 (
id datetime primary key,
fodder varchar(64)
);
It creates fine but when I try to insert something like:
INSERT INTO test2 (fodder) VALUES ('arfarf');
I get:
ERROR: ExecAppend: Fail to add null value in not null value attribute id
I thought that the datetime field would be filled automatically on a insert with a current timestamp. can someone point
outwhat Im doin wrong.
Thnx all,
-crypt0genic

Hello,
I don't know about the test but I think I read something about it being
special.
The second case I think you wanted to use default. See example below.
Best regards,
Roelof
snlsor=> create table test2 (
snlsor-> id datetime primary key default now(),
snlsor-> fodder varchar(64)
snlsor-> );
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 'test2_pkey'
for table 'test2'
CREATE
snlsor=> INSERT INTO test2 (fodder) VALUES ('arfarf');
INSERT 615427 1
snlsor=> select * from test2;
id |fodder
-------------------------------+------
Fri Mar 31 14:39:50 2000 METDST|arfarf
(1 row)
snlsor=> INSERT INTO test2 (fodder) VALUES ('arfarfgggg');
INSERT 615428 1
snlsor=> select * from test2;
id |fodder

You can't create an index on timestamp in <7.0 versions.

Hello Peter,
Can you explain this more in detail, because I fail to see the difference in
the following:
Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor:
Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL
[PostgreSQL 6.5.3 on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20, compiled by cc -Ae ]
snlsor=> create table test2 ( id integer primary key);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 'test2_pkey'
for table 'test2'
CREATE
snlsor=> create table test3 (id datetime primary key);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 'test3_pkey'
for table 'test3'
CREATE
Best regards,
