The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5620 Logged by: Samuel Marinov Email address: samuel.mari...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.0b4 Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64-bit Description: PostgreSQL won't accept the word "user" as a valid column name Details:
I haven't tried this bug with any other platform or version. I installed PostgreSQL from source, using the configure command: "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql". I also started the server after the install with the following command: "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data" while logged in as a non-root user. Also, I didn't try creating a test database and user as the INSTALL file says, but creating databases and users works fine anyway. Other than that, I used all the defaults found in the INSTALL file for installing and starting PostgreSQL. After that, I set a password for the postgres user (not the system postgres user, but the database user) and created another user called ftp. I also gave the ftp user full ownership to a database named ftp. Then, I logged in as the ftp user, and tried to run the following query: "create table ftp (user varchar, password varchar);". I got the following error message: ERROR: syntax error at or near "user" at character 19 STATEMENT: create table ftp (user varchar, password varchar); ERROR: syntax error at or near "user" LINE 1: create table ftp (user varchar, password varchar); I tried using the name "username" for the first column, and it worked perfectly. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
