I'm encountering DDL syntax errors using postgres-9.6.1 that I've not
before seen, and I'm having a difficult time finding the cause when reading
the appropriate sections of the manual; Section 5.3.1 in this case:
CREATE TABLE Agencies (
org_name VARCHAR(48) PRIMARY KEY,
acronym VARCHAR(8) DEFAULT ' ',
org_lvl VARCHAR(8) DEFAULT 'State'
CONSTRAINT invalid_agency_level
CHECK org_lvl IN ('Federal', 'State', 'County', 'City', 'Local',
'Regional'),
website VARCHAR(64) DEFAULT ' ',
created_at TIMESTAMP,
created_by TEXT NOT NULL,
updated_at TIMESTAMP,
updated_by TEXT NOT NULL,
comment TEXT
);
psql reports:
:86: ERROR: syntax error at or near "org_lvl"
LINE 6: CHECK org_lvl IN ('Federal', 'State', 'County', 'City',...
^
Having a default value or a named constraint makes no difference, and the
maximum size of the org_lvl column is that of the longest string so I am not
seeing the source of my error.
Where, other than Section 5.3.1 of the manual can I learn why there's an
error?
I also have several errors of 'table not found' yet to be understood and
resolved
but this one is at the top of the file.
TIA,
Rich
