Thread: PARSER ERROR persists ....

Hi,

I have tried Carl's suggestion, but it does
not make a difference and the same
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "("
results.
I have rebuilt and reinstalled Version 7.1.3,
but still the same. No compilation or installation
errors are reported and simple statements seem
to work properly. In contrast to 7.0.3, the \d <table>
command does not work because 'format_type(oid,int4)'
does not exist, but this 
probably has nothing to do with my problem?
I am running SuSE Linux 7.2 (kernel 2.4.4).
Might any libraries not be loaded or could there
be any other problem related to installation?

Thanks, Frederick


Here is Josh's statement with Carl's modification:

SELECT people.people_id, people.name,      people.address,      people_attributes.attribute_name,
people_attributes.attribute_value
FROM people, people_attributes,      ( SELECT people_id, count(*) as match_count        FROM people_attributes,
search_attributes        WHERE search_id = 31        AND people_attributes.attribute_name =
search_attributes.attribute_name       AND people_attributes.attribute_value ~*
search_attributes.attribute_value       GROUP BY people_id) matches,      ( SELECT count(*) as attribute_count
FROMsearch_attributes        WHERE search_id = 31 ) searched
 
WHERE people.people_id = people_attributes.people_id AND people.people_id = matches.people_id AND matches.match_count =
searched.attribute_count;

Actually, that's a red flag indicating that you did the wrong thing.
You may be running a 7.1.3 psql, but the server you are talking to
is not 7.1.*, but something older (try "select version()" to prove it).
