psql

How do I set timezone for psql to something other than my default (US/Central)? Here's what I've tried so far: $ psql psql (9.1.4, server 9.0.4) ... $ psql -c 'show timezone' TimeZone ------------ US/Central $ psql --set=timezone=US/Eastern -c 'show timezone' TimeZone ------------ US/Central $ psql --variable=timezone=US/Eastern -c 'show timezone' TimeZone ------------ US/Central Edit : I don't want to change the server timezone, just the client. Edit #2 : I want it in non-interactive mode. The psql doc says: -v assignment --set=assignment --variable=assignment Perform a variable assignment,

I've got this PL/pgSQL function which must return some users information. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_function( user_id integer ) RETURNS TABLE( id integer, firstname character varying, lastname character varying ) AS $$ DECLARE ids character varying; BEGIN ids := ''; --Some code which build the ids string, not interesting for this issue RETURN QUERY EXECUTE 'SELECT users.id, users.firstname, users.lastname FROM public.users WHERE ids IN (' || ids || ')'; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; The problem I'm facing is that the result of the function is a single columns table like this: ╔═══╦════════════

I have PSQL running, and am trying to get a perl application connecting to the database. Is there a command to find the current port and host that the database is running on? Brad Koch The default PostgreSQL port is 5432 . The host that the database is operating on should have been provided by your hosting provider; I'd guess it would be the same host as the web server if one wasn't specified. Typically this would be configured as localhost, assuming your web server and database server are on the same host. a_horse_with_no_name SELECT * FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'port'; This command will

I am using PostgreSQL 8.4 on Ubuntu. I have a table with columns c1 through cN . The columns are wide enough that selecting all columns causes a row of query results to wrap multiple times. Consequently, the output is hard to read. When the query results constitute just a few rows, it would be convenient if I could view the query results such that each column of each row is on a separate line, e.g. c1: <value of row 1's c1> c2: <value of row 1's c1> ... cN: <value of row 1's cN> ---- some kind of delimiter ---- c1: <value of row 2's c1> etc. I am running these queries on a server where I would

I have two models, Courier and Order . I have the following query below: active_couriers = Courier. available_courier_status. where(:service_region_id => @service_region.id). includes(:orders) This query works, however, it pulls in all orders. I want to limit the orders to only orders for the day. So I added the following query where("orders.created_at >= ?", Time.zone.now.beginning_of_day) . active_couriers = Courier. available_courier_status. where(:service_region_id => @service_region.id). includes(:current_orders). includes(:orders). where("orders.created_at >= ?", Time.zone.now.beginning

I just installed posgresql with homebrew and when I go on to type the command psql I get the following error: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.6.2.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/psql Reason: image not found [1] 69711 trace trap psql Does anyone have any idea about what's wrong? I was getting the exact same error, but the above answers didn't work for me. I had to reinstall postgresql. brew reinstall postgresql The key problem is that your postgresql was trying to find the libreadline.6.2.dylib but your readline is version 7.0 , so only 7's lib is linked.
