[SQL] Partitioned Tables

2012-06-12 Thread Wayne Cuddy
I'm using partitioned tables where a child table is chosen based on a
time stamp. One child table exists for each month.

I move records from a temp table to the partitioned table via something like
this:

INSERT INTO parent_table SELECT * FROM temp_table;

All works well but with when inserting to standard tables the insert
result contains the number of records inserted. I've found that when I
insert into partitioned tables the result is always zero.

I'm using the TCL binding (pgintcl) but psql behaves the same way. Is
there any way to determine the number of rows actually inserted?

Thanks,
Wayne

[SQL] how to use schema with data type

2012-06-12 Thread John Fabiani
I have tried to use a user defined data type I created within a schema.  
But I could not figure it out.


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xchromasun._chromasun_totals(date)
  RETURNS SETOF xchromasun.weekly_mpr AS

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xchromasun._chromasun_totals(date)
  RETURNS SETOF "xchromasun.weekly_mpr" AS

I had to move the user defined data type to "public".

Could someone explain how I might get that done - that is use a schema 
data type from a function.


I'm using 8.4.x.

Are you inserting directly into the partition? Or into the parent table?

If you're inserting into the parent, then it's true that no rows were 
inserted into the parent; a trigger redirected the write into the child 
table. Pg's handling of partitioning isn't yet sophisticated enough to 
recognise that those rows got written to a child and thus still appeared 
in the parent and report that.


As a workaround, ignore the insert count for partitioned tables, or 
insert directly into the appropriate partition(s).

What exactly couldn't you work out?

How was it going wrong, and when? What error messges did you get?

The first form looks reasonable to me, though I haven't tested. If you 
need to quote the schema for caps reasons, you'd use:


   "xchromasun"."weekly_mpr"
