What are you trying to achieve? (And you might want to switch psql to english error messages so that everybody here can read them). –a_horse_with_no_name Aug 24 '13 at 16:39 1 are you using phpAdmin? –Roman Pekar Aug 24 '13 at 16:43 2 Btw: the value for count(*) will always be exactly 1 (one) because you are trying to insert a single row - so I don't understand what the count() is inteded for. –a_horse_with_no_name Aug 24 '13 at 16:44 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up

them; it only takes a minute: Sign up cannot get simple PostgreSQL insert to work up vote 19 down vote favorite 3 I'm trying to do a simple insert into a postgres table, but am getting an error that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18420742/insert-into-postgresql the value I'm trying to insert is being interpreted as a column name INSERT INTO "imageTagBusinessMainCategory" (id, businessMainCategory) VALUES (DEFAULT, "auto dealer") Where id is set up to be the primary key, and auto increment, and not null. Those are the boxes I ticked when I set up the table in phpPgAdmin. I'm getting this error though: ERROR: ERROR: column "auto dealer" does not exist Query = INSERT INTO "imageTagBusinessMainCategory" (id, businessMainCategory) VALUES (DEFAULT, "auto dealer") I've put http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12428496/cannot-get-simple-postgresql-insert-to-work my table name in double quotes, as I've read here I should. And used DEFAULT to auto-increment the id as I've read here I should. Any ideas?

Thanks! –1252748 Sep 14 '12 at 16:34 I mean like it shows in @Randy's answer. Except it looks like you need double quotes around the column name as well. –Paul Tomblin Sep 14 '12 at 16:39 | show 1 more comment 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 43 down vote accepted Use 'auto dealer' instead. PostgreSQL interprets " as being quotes for identifiers, ' as being quotes for strings. Also: If this is a new project, just don't use mixed case tables; it is a source of frustration later. Instead of being able to use any case in your SQL statements, you must both quote the identifier name and get the case correct. There is no need
Documentation Prev Fast Backward Chapter 38. PL/pgSQL - SQL Procedural Language Fast Forward Next 38.10. PL/pgSQL Under the Hood This section discusses some implementation details that are frequently important for https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/plpgsql-implementation.html PL/pgSQL users to know. 38.10.1. Variable Substitution When PL/pgSQL prepares a SQL statement or expression for execution, any PL/pgSQL variable name appearing in the statement or expression is replaced by a parameter symbol, $n. The https://developer.jboss.org/thread/252199 current value of the variable is then provided as the value for the parameter whenever the statement or expression is executed. As an example, consider the function CREATE FUNCTION logfunc(logtxt text) RETURNS void AS $$ syntax error DECLARE curtime timestamp := now(); BEGIN INSERT INTO logtable VALUES (logtxt, curtime); END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; The INSERT statement will effectively be processed as PREPARE statement_name(text, timestamp) AS INSERT INTO logtable VALUES ($1, $2); followed on each execution by EXECUTE with the current actual values of the two variables. (Note: here we are speaking of the main SQL engine's EXECUTE command, not PL/pgSQL's EXECUTE.) The substitution mechanism will replace any syntax error at token that matches a known variable's name. This poses various traps for the unwary. For example, it is a bad idea to use a variable name that is the same as any table or column name that you need to reference in queries within the function, because what you think is a table or column name will still get replaced. In the above example, suppose that logtable has column names logtxt and logtime, and we try to write the INSERT as INSERT INTO logtable (logtxt, logtime) VALUES (logtxt, curtime); This will be fed to the main SQL parser as INSERT INTO logtable ($1, logtime) VALUES ($1, $2); resulting in a syntax error like this: ERROR: syntax error at or near "$1" LINE 1: INSERT INTO logtable ( $1 , logtime) VALUES ( $1 , $2 ) ^ QUERY: INSERT INTO logtable ( $1 , logtime) VALUES ( $1 , $2 ) CONTEXT: SQL statement in PL/PgSQL function "logfunc2" near line 5 This example is fairly easy to diagnose, since it leads to an obvious syntax error. Much nastier are cases where the substitution is syntactically permissible, since the only symptom may be misbehavior of the function. In one case, a user wrote something like this: DECLARE val text; search_ke
