Re: validate synatax

you can use the transition.
eg:
begin;
creat table(...);
catch error if the statement not validated.
rollback;

Hi,

How can I validate any query on PostgreSQL without executing the sql.

I was able with EXPLAIN to find some errors. However this only worked with a SELECT statement. When i tried to create a TABLE it would not run.

I do not wish to install external packages. Preferably use only default present features.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Best,

Peter
