PostgreSQL examples

http://darthdeus.github.io/blog/2013/08/19/postgresql-basics-by-example/

To look at a stored procedure:

Use this to find the procedure name:

SELECT routine_schema As schema_name, routine_name As procedure_name FROM information_schema.routines;

Then use this from the psql prompt to read the sql:

SELECT pg_get_functiondef(( SELECT oid FROM pg_proc WHERE proname = '<function_name>'));

To create a table with an auto-incrementing index:

database=# CREATE TABLE VLS_TEST(
id INTEGER DEFAULT nextval('jobs_tags_id_seq'::regclass) NOT NULL,
job_id integer NOT NULL,
TEST TEXT NOT NULL);

To insert a row into this table, just don’t include the id field:

database=# INSERT INTO VLS_TEST (job_id, TEST) VALUES ( 234, 'This is test text.');
INSERT 0 1

database=# SELECT * from VLS_TEST;
id | job_id | test

------+--------+--------------------
8223 | 234 | This is test text.
(1 row)

Chmod and Chown Notes

find . -type d exec chmod 1775 {} \; -print

The most common use of the sticky bit today is on directories. When the sticky bit is set, only the item’s owner, the directory’s owner, or the superuser can rename or delete files. Without the sticky bit set, any user with write and execute permissions for the directory can rename or delete contained files, regardless of owner.
