create-table

I have existing table which has 10 years of data (I have taken dump). I would like to Range partition the existing table on one date key column within the table. Most of the examples I see are with CREATE TABLE..PARTITION BY RANGE... to add new partitions. But my table is existing table. I assume I need some ALTER statement. ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME PARTITION BY RANGE(CREATED_DATE) PARTITION JAN16 VALUES LESS THAN (01-02-2016), PARTITION FEB16 VALUES LESS THAN (01-03-2016) AND GREATER THAN(31-01-2016),//OR? PARTITION MAR16 VALUES BETWEEN (01-03-2016) AND (31-03-2016), //OR? Two questions.. Do I

Foreign key constraints are not copied when using create table table_name ( like source_table INCLUDING ALL)' in Postgres. How can I create a copy of an existing table including all foreign keys. There is no option to automatically create foreign keys in CREATE TABLE ... LIKE ... . For the documentation: LIKE source_table [ like_option ... ] Not-null constraints are always copied to the new table. CHECK constraints will be copied only if INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS is specified [...] Indexes, PRIMARY KEY, and UNIQUE constraints on the original table will be created on the new table only if the

I'm using PostgreSQL and am an SQL beginner. I'm trying to create a table from a query, and if I run: CREATE TABLE table_name AS (....query...) it works just fine. But then if I add 'if not exists' and run: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table_name AS (....query...) using exactly the same query, I get: ERROR: syntax error at or near "as" Is there any way to do this? CREATE TABLE AS is considered a separate statement from a normal CREATE TABLE , and until Postgres version 9.5 (see changelog entry ) didn't support an IF NOT EXISTS clause. (Be sure to look at the correct version of the manual for the

I did this in psql: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS apiss (skey TEXT, time INTEGER, user TEXT, ip TEXT); I get ERROR: syntax error at or near "user" LINE 1: ...BLE IF NOT EXISTS apiss (skey TEXT, time INTEGER, user TEXT,... I do: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS apiss (skey TEXT, time INTEGER, userd TEXT, ip TEXT); It works. Note the userd instead of user. Are there some restrictions on the column names that a table can have? (postgresql v9.1.3) bernie Here's a nice table of reserved words in PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-keywords-appendix.html It is probably best to

I can see plenty of posts about where the field description extended property lives and how I can get it, but nothing about adding these at the CREATE TABLE stage. I'm dynamically creating tables so dynamically adding field descriptions would be a tidy thing to do but I cannot see a way. Has anyone managed to do this? While you can't do it in CREATE TABLE , you can do it at the same time, in the same database script, using this approach : CREATE table T1 (id int , name char (20)) EXEC sp_addextendedproperty 'MS_Description', 'Employee ID', 'user', dbo, 'table', 'T1', 'column', id EXEC sp

I'm following the instructions from the SQLite documentation at http://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html however my attempt to add a foreign key is failing. Here are my create statements: CREATE TABLE checklist ( _id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, checklist_title TEXT, description TEXT, created_on INTEGER, modified_on INTEGER ); CREATE TABLE item ( _id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, FOREIGN KEY(checklist_id) REFERENCES checklist(_id), item_text TEXT, item_hint TEXT, item_order INTEGER, created_on INTEGER, modified_on INTEGER ); The first table is made fine. The error occurs in the second

I am trying to create a table in mySQL. This is my php page below, when I run the page there are no errors but the table is not in mySQL and when I test the code in mySQL I'm getting the error #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '$user = "root"' at line 1. I've done a bit of research into what this error means but I'm getting no where. I don't really understand what it means. If I'm honest I don't really understand php I'm just adapting the code I've written in previous uni tutorials.
