According to the PG 9.1 doc (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-altertable.html) this is
a valid flavor of ALTER TABLE:
ALTER TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] name
RENAME TO new_name
But when I try to execute such a command, I get:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "EXISTS"
LINE 1: ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS event
^
QUERY: ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS event
RENAME TO event_s;
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "convert_table_to_history" line 60 at EXECUTE
statement
As you'll see, in this case the command was issued from a function. But
issuing it directly evokes the same error.
?!?
