The docs ( 9.0.2) for create table asserts that a data type representing a row
of
the table is automatically created.
Tain't clear to me what this means...
Here is a fragment of sql that I frequently use:
*************
insert into checks (select *
from dblink('select * from checks where date >=''1/1/2011''')
as (date date,
amount numeric(9,2),
tranid text,
source text,
memo text,
status text,
category text
) );
**************
The stuff after the 'as' is a description of the
rows of the table checks.
Could I shortened the above by using the automatically created row type of
the table checks?
Thanks
Jerry
