pgpool-II native replication
Hi, pgpool-II also offers native replication maintaining several real time backups. The docu also states: "There is no guarantee that any data provided using a context-dependent mechanism (e.g. random number, transaction ID, OID, SERIAL, sequence), will be replicated correctly on multiple backends." Has anyone ever used pgpool-II native replication to build an HA environment? Thanks, Markus
Multi-row insert: error at terminal row.
I'm loading data into tables with the 'insert' statement. There are many rows containing values and each is bracketed by parentheses except for the last row. That's terminated with a semicolon, but psql reports an error there: psql:organizations.sql:1926: ERROR: syntax error at or near ";" LINE 1925: ...m',null,'Port','Opportunity',null); ^ I'm not seeing why that's an error. All previous rows terminate with a comma and I don't know where else to look for the reason. What am I missing seeing? TIA, Rich

I don't know Emacs, I'm a vi guy. ;-) But I guess that Emacs shows the matching closing bracket at the beginning of the line, which matches that single tuple. But you also need a closing bracket for the set of tuples like this: insert ... ( (v1, v2, v3), (v4, v5, v6), (v7, v8, v9)<= this is the bracket pair that Emacs shows as matching. ); <= this is the missing bracket. Cheers, Paul

My point was that there is a mismatch between a closing parent and an initial opening parent somewhere even if Emacs shows the last parent as matching the last opening parent. So, you are right of course. postgres=# create table t1(v1 int, v2 int, v3 int); CREATE TABLE postgres=# insert into t1(v1, v2, v3) values (1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), (7, 8, 9); INSERT 0 3 Cheers, Paul

David, I checked and repaired all single apostrophe's with doubled apostrophies. Postgres found other syntax errors (period rather than comma; missing comma) but didn't reject single quotes as apostrophes within a string. Also, there are no strings in this table that would have apostrophes. Thanks, Rich

Rob, Part of the files was exported from the old version of the database. New rows were from different text files, each with a different format, and all needing to be parsed with data belonging to four different tables. There won't be a 'next time' now that I've corrected the database structure. All new information (once I get these tables correctly loaded) will be one-at-a-time. Manipulating 2K datasets over long hours and multiple days led me to make errors I didn't catch at the time. Regards, Rich
