Thread: select date range?

Ko,

You probably need to re-format the POST date before passing it to the 
back-end.  For example, my compilation of PostgreSQL would not necessarily 
correctly recognize that date format.

Try re-formatting the date to '2003-05-12'

hmm it should work fine. Remember, the statement

....where mydate between '2003/05/12' and '2003/06/17'

would ONLY return records from '2003/05/12 to 2003/06/16 since your type
is a timestamp. 2003/06/17 actually means 2003/06/17 00:00:00.000000+00.
so a timestamp of 2003/06/17 03:01:10.102022+08 would not be included in
the query.


got it?

You may be having problems with how PHP interprets (or more correctly, 
doesn't) arrays inside of strings.  the problem is that inside of a string 
the autointerpretation of a string won't work for arrays, only simple 
scalars.

Change your string to this:

"select * from mydatabase where mydate between '".$_POST[start_date]."' and '".$_POST[end_date]."'"

When I try to reindex a toast table with command ´REINDEX TABLE
pg_toast_16557' I receive following error message:

ERROR: "pg_toast_16557" is a system table. call REINDEX under standalone
postgres with -O -P options

So I restart postmaster standalone (no -i option) and I receive same error.

how could I reindex it?

tnx

Removing the -i option does not constitute a standalone backend.  See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=sql-reindex.html
for a detailed description of the procedure you need to follow here.

(7.3 doesn't require this pushup anymore for toast tables, btw.)
        regards, tom lane

Sorry about this sucks thread but now i´v got following error

ERROR: relation "pg_toast_26474986" is of type "t"

I looked for "type t" around documentation and don´t find something usefull.

tnx

You may have to use REINDEX INDEX (on the index not the toast table of
course) to get it to work in older versions.  REINDEX didn't use to
think it could work on toast tables.
        regards, tom lane

which index? could you help me again?
