An unexpected result this morning that I'd like to understand. In emacs I loaded the file organizations.sql in a buffer to insert new rows in that table. Rather than running psql from a virtual console, I opened an emacs shell and entered the command, psql -f organizations.sql -d bustrac and saw an error that the last line in the .sql file was in conflict with an existing primary key. (I let postgres assign the keys when new rows are inserted.) Checking the table for that primary key confirmed that it was a different organization so there should not have been a conflict. Using a virtual console, and in the directory with the scripts, I ran the same psql command and it completed as expected. I don't think this is a emacs error because the shell opens in the same directory as the script I'm running. Why might postgres fail to run the script within an emacs shell while having no issues running the same script from a virtual console? A curious mind wants to learn. TIA, Rich
