Обсуждение: beginne' - inserting a record

Dear List,

I have managed some small databases with FoxPro, but something is not known by me to manage postgresql databases

I had created a database as 'postgres' user and  I tried the following as 'postgres' user too under Debian SID with postgresql 8.1:
(it seems to be a Hungarian version   - FoxPro couldn't speak Hungarian)

# psql MediaBin
[...]
MediaBin=# \d media
        Tábla "public.media"
  Oszlop  |    Típus     | Módosító
----------+--------------+----------
type     | character(3) |
capacity | smallint     |
mid      | character(5) |

MediaBin=# insert into media values ("000", 120, "00001");
ERROR:  column "000" does not exist

MediaBin=#


What the Hell could be wrong?

I'm not familiar with version 8.1; however, you to use single quotes, not
double quotes as in:

INSERT INTO media VALUES ('000', 120, '00001');

That should work...

I think you should use single-quotes rather than doubles:

  insert into media values ('000', 120, '00001');

If you have a table with field1, field2, field3, and you want to see
this table as field3, field2, field1, simple do 'select field3, field2,
field1 from table'.

Btw.: TOFU (top posting with fullquote below) are silly.

Your quotes. Use ' and that command will work.
