Re: Syntax error in trigger

[Jignesh Shah <jignesh.shah1980@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got it resolved. I just need to put below statement into single quote instead of double quote. :)

 

my $query ='INSERT INTO log_table(id) SELECT $1 EXCEPT SELECT id FROM log_table WHERE id = $1;';

 

Thanks,

Jignesh

Thanks Anreas but I think that's not a issue. The issue is something to do with "$1". I don't know how to get rid of it.

 

techdb=# INSERT INTO log_table(id) SELECT 5 EXCEPT SELECT id FROM log_table WHERE id = 5;
INSERT 0 1
techdb=# select * from log_table;
 id |  txid  |           txtime
----+--------+----------------------------
  5 | 196552 | 2010-04-22 09:30:10.509326
(1 row)

techdb=#

Could anyone please help me out here.

 

Thanks,

Select from which table? I think, there is the table-name missing,
right?
