Re: [BUGS] General Bug Report: CREATE TABLE AS doesn't work

Fomichev Michael <fomichev@null.ru> — 1999-06-21T20:10:38Z

The query should look like this:
create table xxx (foo) as select 1;
This syntax described in manual for PostgreSQL v6.4.2

For example:
********************
template1=> create table xxx (foo) as select 1;
SELECT
template1=> select * from xxx;
foo
---
  1
(1 row)
*******************
