RE: How to keep format of views source code as entered?

So, it looks like PostgreSQL does support saving the original source code of a view.

 

What's best practise to use as a code repository?

 

I would expect support of multi-user access, access-right management and perhaps versioning as well…?

 

Thanks for your help!

Subject: [E] How to keep format of views source code as entered?

 

Hi!

 

Switching from Oracle SLQ to PostgreSQL I am facing the issue that the SQL code the system returns when I open a views source code is different from the code I entered. The code is formatted differently, comments are gone and e.g. all text constants got an explicit cast to ::text added. (see sample below).

 

I want the SLQ code of my views stored as I entered it. Is there any way to achieve this? Or will I be forced to maintain my views SQL code outside of PostgreSQL views?

 

Any hints welcome!

 

Here is an example:

 

I enter this code to define a simple view:

 

create or replace view myview as

select

  product_id,

  product_acronym

from

  products -- my comment here

where

  product_acronym = 'ABC'

;

 

However, when I open the view my SQL client (DBeaver) again, this is what I get:

 

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW myview

AS SELECT product_id,

    product_acronym

   FROM products

  WHERE product_acronym = 'ABC'::text;

 

So, the formatting changed, keywords are capitalized, the comment I added in the from-part has gone and the text constant 'ABC' changed to 'ABC'::text.
