Hi there. New pgAdmin user hoping someone out there might help me figure
out why I can’t export a particular report.
I’ve been running a few basic SQL scrips in pgAdmin pre 1.5 successfully
and had no trouble exporting them as CSV files. Until one report, which
is a bit larger than the others (the results include about 300 rows and
8 columns). The report runs fine, but I can’t export it to save my life.
Not understanding, are you doing two steps?:
1) Create/run report
2) Export the data from the report.
It will help to see the exact steps you are taking in pgAdmin. In other
words what parts of pgAdmin are you using and what parameters are you
supplying it?
We did upgrade me to 3.1, which is at least allowing me to copy the
results and paste them into Excel. But I’d still love to figure out why
I can’t export as I can with others.
I read a bit about this perhaps being a bug in early versions that was
resolved, but since I’m now on the latest version and seeing the same
thing, either the bug wasn’t resolved or it’s not the same problem.
The export process seems to work, but the resulting file is only about
1KB and contains 1 of 2 possible statements, depending on whether or not
I commented out some info about the initial drop tables.
if the comments are in, I get:
ERROR: syntax error at or near DROP"
LINE 1: ...OR /* Drop the temp table if it already exists */ DROP TABLE...
^
if the comments are removed, I get:
ERROR: syntax error at or near DROP"
LINE 1: ...LARE "CURSOR:CONN:372417" CURSOR WITHOUT HOLD FOR DROP TABLE...
^
The beginning of this particular report looks like this:
/* Drop the temp table if it already exists */ DROP TABLE IF EXISTS
tmpholds;
/* This is query is run first and create the temp table populating with
bibs or items that have holds */ CREATE TEMP TABLE tmpholds AS SELECT
b.id AS "bib_id",
COUNT(DISTINCT h.id) AS "hold_count",
CASE
WHEN COUNT(DISTINCT i.id) IS NULL THEN 0
ELSE COUNT(DISTINCT i.id)
END
AS "item_count",
COUNT(DISTINCT ia.id) AS
"avail_item_count",
MAX(o1.order_count) AS "order_count",
STRING_AGG(DISTINCT i.location_code, ' ' ORDER BY
i.location_code desc) AS …and so on and so forth.
The report RUNS fine, I just can’t export the results, and based on
these statements, my best guess is that it’s about the drop table or the
comments about the drop table (though I’ve tried removing the comments).
Anybody know if this is part of a current bug or if it can be worked
around? Many thanks for your help!
