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.)
What was the exact message?
What was in the last line?
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?
Difference in shell escaping?
A curious mind wants to learn.
TIA,
Rich
