Thread: cannot insert or update

I am accessing a database remotely and I can use the select instruction but nothing happens when I use insert or update.  I can use those instructions directly on the computer running  postgresql.

I have tired to give public permissions to the table but that didn’t work.

Any suggestions?

I can’t offer any advice then, but I’m sure the first question from those who can, will be what version of PG and what platform are you running on?

Cheers,

I do a select afterwards and they haven’t had any effect.  I am working from a remote computer and the sql works on the server running pg so that is why I thought it might be permissions.

Sorry

I am running the perl dbi module on windows xp as a client and pg 8.2.3 on windows xp for the server.  I can do selects from the client including those concerning schema data but not updates, etc

The actual sql being used is:

SELECT *  FROM marketlayout

which works, but this

INSERT INTO marketlayout\nVALUES('07-05-12', 'Leichhardt', 276, 349, 280, 297, 'test case')

doesn’t work.
