Обсуждение: manual for syntax for pg Query Tool
My script is for mySQL and I need to run it on the Query Tool. The very first line which starts with a # (it is a comment) fails. Is there any document that describes the acceptable syntax for a script running in the Query Tool?

If by "Query Tool" you mean the query capability in pgAdmin, it uses standard SQL syntax. Two dashes starts a single-line comment and slash-asterisk starts a (potentially) multi-line comment. Hash marks for comments are typical of shell scripts, not SQL. PostgreSQL is compliant with standard SQL, and offers alternatives and shortcuts in addition to its support for standard SQL. The best documentation I know of is at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/ TG -- Anthony E. Greene <mailto:agreene@pobox.com>
