Hi,
I have a table, where one of the columns "extradata" is a gob of XML.
I'd like to be able to create an index on this function.. so i tried
this
CREATE INDEX actitemsXML_idx ON act_items
(pgxml_xpath(ex tradata,'//RequestInfo/refund_id/text()','','')) ;
And i got this nice little error
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near
"'//RequestInfo/refund_id/text()'" at character 66
I tried escaping the single quotes.. that basically leaves me at a psql
prompt with a ', meaning i need to close my quote, but they're all
escaped.
If anyone has any input for adding index's on functions that have single
quotes in them, that would be great.
Thanks.
Jeff.

I don't think that you can create indexes on functions that had expressions
or constants for parameter values in 7.3 and earlier. You might want to
try this with the 7.4 beta and see if it works there. There will probably
be a 7.4 release candidate this week, so you may be able to consider
7.4 for production soon.

In 7.3 (and earlier), functional indexes must be defined on a function
over columns in the table. You cannot put fixed parameters in the call.
You can generally hack around this by making a function on only the
columns that calls the function with the constant arguments.

I am wondering how come there is not an Information_Schema view that
lists indexes? Information_Schema is supposed to be the safest way to
obtain information on metadata, but it appears that the only way to
get a list of indexes is with a system stored proc.

Hi all
I recently noticed when trying to optimise a major query of a chess website
I am the webmaster of, that adding an order by for "gamenumber" which is a

I have an ASP error log and I am fairly sure that a dramatic reduction in

Hi
I have a table that currently has 466 columns and about 700,000
records. Adding a new DEFAULT column to this table takes a long time.
It it a lot faster to recreate the table with the new columns and then
copy all of the data across.
As far as I am aware when you add a DEFAULT column the following

I need to add a column to a table. This table holds several thousand
records, has several indexes, and serves as the parent table to a few
child tables.
When I've done this in the past, it has taken quite a long time for
the ALTER TABLE command to complete.
So, what is the correct procedure for adding a column? Drop the
indexes, add the column, and recreate the indexes?

So structures are useful to group variables, so you can to refer to a
collection as a single entity. Wouldn't it be useful to also have the
ability to collect variable and functions?
Ask K&R say, C programs consist of variables to store the input and
functions to manipulate them.
This would make C object-oriented - how cool would that be?
Are there any problems with adding the ability to have functions

Hi all,
I need to create one or two indexes on date columns to support MAX and MIN aggregate functions on a very large table and to make the SQL perform/run faster. I remember a group discussion sometime ago that creating an index on the date column ASCENDING or DESCENDING will be the thing to do. Is that still true?
Does anyone have or know of a good discussion of the pros and cons of doing what I am trying to accomplish?
