Re: find the number of row for each tables

Hi everybody, i try something that could work (i tested it on a Oracle base, and it works fine, sorry, i haven't got postgresql at my office :-(( select count(distinct (<Primary_key_of_friends>)), count(distinct (<Primary_key_of_strangers>)) from Friends, Strangers WHERE friends.f_id = strangers.s_id AND friends.categorie = 1; If f_id and S_id are the primary key of each table, replace <primary_key_of_friend> and <primary_key_of_strangers> by f_id and s_id respectively. i hope this will work for you Nicolas Patrick Coulombe wrote: > > > Try simply SELECT * from friends; > ??? > Not working...

Maximum size before having to use BLOBs.
Ryan Ho <ryanho@pacific.net.sg> — 2000-06-15T11:41:09Z
Hi, What is the maximum size 'text' or 'varchar' can support before a BLOB has to be used. I need to store some small text files and I don't know how big is too big for a 'varchar'. Thanks in advance Ryan

As I understand things, a "tuple" (all the elements in a row) plus a few bytes for book-keeping have to be less than 8192 bytes. I haven't pushed to see if my understanding is correct.

Interesting, I just tried the following: actmgr=> select count(a.id), count(b.id) from accounts a, subaccounts b; ^C CANCEL request sent ERROR: Query was cancelled. actmgr=> select count(id) from accounts; count ----- 781 (1 row) actmgr=> select count(id) from subaccounts; count ----- 1939 (1 row) i had to cancel the first one after about a minute, but the second two came right back since actmgr=> select count(distinct a.id), count(distinct b.id) from accounts a, subaccounts b; this doesn't work. -duck On Thu, 15 Jun 2000, NRonayette wrote: > Hi everybody, > i try something that could work (i tested it on a Oracle base, and it > works fine, sorry, i haven't got postgresql at my office :-(( > > select count(distinct (<Primary_key_of_friends>)), count(distinct > (<Primary_key_of_strangers>)) > from Friends, Strangers > WHERE friends.f_id = strangers.s_id AND friends.categorie = 1; > > If f_id and S_id are the primary key of each table, replace > <primary_key_of_friend> and <primary_key_of_strangers> by f_id and s_id > respectively. > > i hope this will work for you > > Nicolas > > Patrick Coulombe wrote: > > > > > Try simply SELECT * from friends; > > ??? > > Not working...

duccini=> create table test (mail varchar(8192)); ERROR: length for type 'varchar' cannot exceed 8088 duccini=> the answer would be 8088 -duck On Thu, 15 Jun 2000, Ryan Ho wrote: > Hi, > > What is the maximum size 'text' or 'varchar' can support before a BLOB has to be > used.

i'm sure the REAL information you want is in a system table somewhere that could be queried of the variety select sy_rowcount from sys.tablename where sy_tablename = 'blah'; On Thu, 15 Jun 2000, NRonayette wrote: > Hi, > > You didn't made any link between your two tables, so this make a > cartesian product, that why it is very long, and you have to cancel it. > > Re-try your select with the exact join condition between your 2 tables > > Something like : > select count(a.id), count(b.id) from accounts a, subaccounts b > where a.id = b.a_id; > > (if a_id is the id of accounts in subaccounts) > > (sorry for my poor english) > > Nicolas > > > D.

Hi, You didn't made any link between your two tables, so this make a cartesian product, that why it is very long, and you have to cancel it. Re-try your select with the exact join condition between your 2 tables Something like : select count(a.id), count(b.id) from accounts a, subaccounts b where a.id = b.a_id; (if a_id is the id of accounts in subaccounts) (sorry for my poor english) Nicolas D.
