Re: SQL statement form shell ?

Hi,
I think I got it.
It seems that I need to indicate specific user name and only then the query works.
-bash-4.1$ psql -p 5472 -d fm_db_Server4 -U msuper -c "SELECT * FROM foo2;"

Im new to postgresql but I guess -U (user) also somehow defines tablespace where specific table is created.
Anyway, thank you all for your help and answers.

Cheers,
czezz

There are a few things I would check.

 

a) psql -p 5472 -d fm_db_Server4

b) SELECT * from foo2;

c) Do those _2_ statements work separately? That should prove that you're talking to the exact same connection/host/port you expect.

d) psql -p 5472 -d fm_db_Server4 -c "SELECT * FROM foo2;

 

So, step a&b succeed, but step d fails?

 

d) psql -p 5472 -d fm_db_Server4

e) SELECT * from "foo2";

 

If this doesn't work, "foo2," is not a valid relation. It's case-sensitive or some such. Once you can make the table name work within " " marks, THEN try from the command prompt like:

 

f) psql -p 5472 -d fm_db_Server4 -c "SELECT * FROM \"foo2\" ; "

Im trying to execute simple query in shell.
This query works OK in PSQL client:
Server4=# SELECT * FROM foo2;

 

However, for some reason I cannot execute it in shell. I try it like following:

 

-bash-4.1$ psql -p 5472 -d fm_db_Server4 -c "SELECT * FROM foo2;"
ERROR:  relation "foo2" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT * FROM foo2;
                      ^

 

Any ideas what Im doing wrong ?

 

BR,
czezz
