Thread: work on some tables in the same time.

I want to execute this query on some table2 in the same time :

INSERT INTO table2_n(f1, f2, f3)SELECT DISTINCT f1, f2, f3 FROM table1_n ;

------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE TABLE table1_1( INT2 f1, INT2 f2, INT2 f3, INT2 f4 );
CREATE TABLE table1_2( INT2 f1, INT2 f2, INT2 f3, INT2 f4 );
...

CREATE TABLE table2_1( INT2 f1, INT2 f2, INT2 f3 );
CREATE TABLE table2_2( INT2 f1, INT2 f2, INT2 f3 );
...

------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone can help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Jerome.

One way would be to do:
BEGIN
CREATE VIEW tableselecttemp ASSELECT DISTINCT f1, f2, f3 FROM table1_n;
INSERT INTO table2_n(f1, f2, f3) SELECT * FROM tableselecttemp;
INSERT INTO table2  (f1, f2, f3) SELECT * FROM tableselecttemp;
DROP VIEW tableselecttemp;
ROLLBACK;

Alternatively, run the select query twice without the temporary
view. You'll have to try it both ways, on a realistic data set, to see
which is faster for you.

Thanks, but:

testdb=#CREATE VIEW tableselecttemp AS SELECT DISTINCT f1, f2, f3 FROM
table1_n;
ERROR:  DISTINCT not supported in views

In that case, you'll have to create a temporary table instead. This may
actually be faster, because you only have to search table1_n once.

I'm assuming you want "n" to be replaced by the numbers up to
the last one where there is a table1_n and table2_n, right?

I'd suggest looking and PL/TCL (or if you can wait for 7.1, you
can probably do it in PL/PGSQL as well with the new exec stuff.)
and writing a function that does the inserts for you.
