Thread: Weird problem with script...

Hi,

I'm building a script to create the tables in my database.  Everything
works fine except one thing with this part of my script:

create table tbl_resume_free_text_type (type_id int,          type text
);

-- insert into tbl_resume_free_text_type (type_id, type) values (1, 'Hobbies');
-- insert into tbl_resume_free_text_type (type_id, type) values (2, 'Special Talents');

If I uncomment the two insert statements I get an error message
stating that tbl_resume_free_text_type doesn't exist.  With the lines
commented out the table gets created (and the rest of the script runs
error-free) and I can manually insert these rows afterwards without a
problem... I'm running PSQL 7.0.3.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jamu.

Odd.  The three statements work just fine for me when executed by hand
in 7.0.3.  Anyone else able to reproduce a problem?

Works fine on 7.0.0 putting them in a text file and doing psql < filename

Jamu - how are you executing this?
