Hi,
I've solved this problem for me (Perl). I have a module DBAPI and write
a function InsertIntoTable($table_name, $hash_with_values,
$data_base_handler).
I send the parms to the function in the hash (key1 => value1, key2
=> value2 ...) and in the function I compose the insert and execute
it.
INSERT INTO $table_name (key1, key2, key3) VALUES (value1, value2,
value3);
So I suggest you write such function and solve most of your problems:-)
Regards,
Kaloyan Iliev

Because it's what the SQL standard says. If you don't like it I suggest
you take it up with them... But it's a little late to change now I
think.
I know about the standards and I'm not blaming postgresql. I just want
to know if it is worth to bring the the matter to some responsible
group.
