Re: Case sensitive grant statements in pg14?

That does not look like a database issue but something is getting manipulated.

Did you try with different key boards and using different machines?

It is a kind of weird - Sorry.

Thanks, 

But there is no Copy/Pasting involved.

if I open a psql prompt on my Ubuntu server.

type:
grant create on schema my_schema to bob;

by hand and press return, it replies with the error messages about a syntax error at "bob"

if I do the same with:
GRANT CREATE ON SCHEMA my_schema TO bob;

by hand and press return, it returns with "GRANT"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

is seems very strange.

I don't know if that's the actual underlying error, or if throwing the "syntax error at bob"  is indicative of some other error.

I've never run across it before so I thought I would ask.

Thanks again, 

rik.

Richard Coleman,

Based on Tom's email, here is my advise to you.

Prepare all your commands and copy to a notepad.

Now copy from the notepad  and execute the commands and let us see if you get the same errors like in your first email.

Thanks,

Sarwar

Well, it's clearer, but I don't believe it.  What I think is
far more likely an explanation is that you've got some weird
non-ASCII whitespace in the first version of the command.
Copying-and-pasting from your mail doesn't show anything
strange though.
