============================================================================ POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE ============================================================================ Your name : Angelo CONFLITTI Your email address : mvca@yahoo.com Category : unknown Severity : non-critical Summary: Command "CREATE TABLE AS with SELECT ... UNION" don't work System Configuration -------------------- Operating System : Linux 2.2.5 (RedHat 6.0) PostgreSQL version : 6.5 Compiler used : egcs-2.91.66 Hardware: --------- i486 24MB RAM, on intranet ethernet, no X-window Versions of other tools: ------------------------ gmake 3.77, flex 2.5.4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem Description: -------------------- Excuse for my english. Table description (name=PARTNERS): id char(6), cogn char(20), ids1 char(6), ids2 char(6), importo int8 The query: CREATE TABLE pippo AS SELECT a.id,a.cogn,b.id AS id1,b.importo AS imp1,null AS id2,b.importo AS imp2 FROM partners a, parteners b WHERE a.id=b.ids1 UNION SELECT a.id,a.cogn,null AS id1,null AS imp1,b.id AS id2,importo AS imp2 FROM partners a, partners b WHERE a.id=b.ids2 The error message of Postgre is "ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "union". With the PostgreSQL 6.4.2 it's work. In PostgreSQL 6.5, if I use the command SELECT ... INTO TABLE, it's work. A little difference between Postgre6.5 and Postgre6.4.2: if I have, in a table, a unknown field type (this is generated froma "SELECT ... null AS imp2 ... INTO TABLE ..." or "CREATE TABLE AS...") and run a SELECT SUM(...) of the unknown field the PostgreSQL 6.5 answer: "ERROR: Aggregate type mismatch sum() works onnumeric, not on unknown"; with PostgreSQL 6.4.2 the SUM() function of the unknown field work. Thank you for your precious PostgreSQL!! :-)) It's a usefull program. I hope to repay your enterprise. Enjoy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test Case: ---------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solution: --------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
