PEAR Problem

Hi,

It's me again. I have been able to solve most of the porting problems
from mysql to pgsql. But I have got struck in one place. I have a
problem where PEAR's associative array doesn't recognise the mix case
letters.

eg . I issue a query through PEAR db and get results using fetchRow of
PEAR. Now I have set associative array feature ON.

suppose the query is

select NetCode,NetworkName from NetworkTab;

this would return the result into a variable called $dbRow

to echo the contents returned by the pgsql, I have to give
$dbRow[NetCode] and $dbRow[NetworkName]

This used to work perfectly fine with mysql, but as I moved to pgsql,
PEAR started to return nothing

like if i echo $dbRow[NetCode] it prints nothing

but in the same echo is I change it echo $dbRow[netcode], it prints
the value of the Network Code.

How do I handle this situation. The application is fully written with Mix Case
letters for the database fields and returned result set.

And one more thing "SET AUTOCOMMIT=0" which is to set auto commiting
to "No" in mysql doesn't work in pgsql what is the equivalent command.

Hi,

maybe this problem isn't originated in PEAR, but in pg itself.
Postgres folds everything to lowercase except one within "" (doublequotes).

So, if you - ie.: in psql:
    psql=# CREATE TABLE veRYMixedCAse (NetCode integer,...);
then actually you will create a table named 'verymixedcase'.

In PHP (PEAR actually) you need to refer to this table and its columns
in lowercase.

You may run psql and execute:
\dt        -- to figure out what names to be given to your tables
and then
\d NetworkTab or \d networktab -- and what names of the columns have

This is caused by the fact that PostgreSQL is case insensitive.  In order
for it to actually take the case into account, you need quote your field
names and table names.

So your query would then be: select "NetCode","NetworkName" from
"NetworkTab";

Then you would be able to access the fields with $dbRow[NetworkName].
