Re: Unable to add a new column to a table named "in" (look like a bug ...)

Hi Adam,

It worked Thanks!! But there is definitly something wrong with the error
message I got (right?):

reference=# alter table "IN" add column INDESCS VARCHAR[];
ERROR: column "indescs" of relation "IN" already exists

Anyway I can workaround with what you gave me.

Thanks again
David

Try: ALTER TABLE "in" add column INDESCS VARCHAR[];

(note the double quotes and lower-case "in")
