Hi,
I try to have an index that only contains substrings of an attribute. (This is
for a try of a port of a MySQL repository).
I did:
--
create sequence s_Filename;
create table Filename (
FilenameId integer default nextval('s_Filename') not null,
Name text not null,
primary key (FilenameId)
);
create index Filename_Name30_FI on Filename (substr(Name, 1, 30));
--
However, I got the following:
--
bacula=# create sequence s_Filename;
CREATE SEQUENCE
bacula=#
bacula=# create table Filename (
bacula(# FilenameId integer default nextval('s_Filename')
not null,
bacula(# Name text
not null,
bacula(# primary key (FilenameId)
bacula(# );
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 'filename_pkey'
for table 'filename'
CREATE TABLE
bacula=#
bacula=# create index Filename_Name30_FI on Filename (substr(Name, 1, 30));
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "1" at character 59
--
I also replaced "substr(Name, 1, 30)" with "substring(Name from 1 for 30)" to
no avail.
Does somebody have an idea?
Cheers,
Thiemo
