PG 17.9

I imported a foreign schema, and then wanted to create a local copy.  Thus:

TAPb=# CREATE TABLE l_tap35.batch (LIKE f_tap35.batch EXCLUDING ALL);
CREATE TABLE

But then:

TAPb=# INSERT INTO l_tap35.lockbox SELECT * FROM f_tap35.batch;
ERROR:  INSERT has more expressions than target columns
LINE 1: INSERT INTO l_tap35.lockbox SELECT * FROM f_tap35.batch;
                                           ^
Ok, maybe the sequence on the PK field is causing a problem?

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

TAPb=# select count(*)
from pg_attribute
where attrelid = (SELECT oid
                 FROM pg_class
                 where relname = 'batch'
                 AND relnamespace::regnamespace::text = 'f_tap35')
TAPb-#   AND attnum > 0;
 count
-------
   132
(1 row)

TAPb=# select count(*)
from pg_attribute
where attrelid = (SELECT oid
                 FROM pg_class
                 where relname = 'batch'
                 AND relnamespace::regnamespace::text = 'l_tap35')
  AND attnum > 0;
 count
-------
   132
(1 row)

TAPb=# SELECT f.attname, f.attnum, f.atttypid, (f.attname = l.attname),
(f.atttypid = l.atttypid)
FROM (select attname, attnum, atttypid, attidentity, attgenerated
      from pg_attribute
      where attrelid = (SELECT oid
                        FROM pg_class
                        where relname = 'batch'
                        AND relnamespace::regnamespace::text = 'f_tap35')) f
   , (select attname, attnum, atttypid, attidentity, attgenerated
      from pg_attribute
      where attrelid = (SELECT oid
                        FROM pg_class

                        AND relnamespace::regnamespace::text = 'l_tap35')) l
WHERE f.attnum = l.attnum

There are 132 columns in the foreign table and the local copy, all column
names match, data types match, and the remote table does not have any
generated columns.

I'm certainly overlooking something but don't see it.

Thanks

Hi

Did you make sure, the order of the columns is identical? Well, maybe that should result in a different error.

You're inserting into a table named lockbox but I don't see the schema for lockbox anywhere in your post.

Subject: Puzzling "INSERT has more expressions than target columns" error

[ External Email ]
PG 17.9

I imported a foreign schema, and then wanted to create a local copy.  Thus:

TAPb=# CREATE TABLE l_tap35.batch (LIKE f_tap35.batch EXCLUDING ALL);
CREATE TABLE

But then:

TAPb=# INSERT INTO l_tap35.lockbox SELECT * FROM f_tap35.batch;
ERROR:  INSERT has more expressions than target columns
LINE 1: INSERT INTO l_tap35.lockbox SELECT * FROM f_tap35.batch;
                                           ^
Ok, maybe the sequence on the PK field is causing a problem?

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

TAPb=# select count(*)
from pg_attribute
where attrelid = (SELECT oid
                 FROM pg_class
                 where relname = 'batch'
                 AND relnamespace::regnamespace::text = 'f_tap35')
TAPb-#   AND attnum > 0;
 count
-------
   132
(1 row)

TAPb=# select count(*)
from pg_attribute
where attrelid = (SELECT oid
                 FROM pg_class
                 where relname = 'batch'
                 AND relnamespace::regnamespace::text = 'l_tap35')
  AND attnum > 0;
 count
-------
   132
(1 row)

TAPb=# SELECT f.attname, f.attnum, f.atttypid, (f.attname = l.attname), (f.atttypid = l.atttypid)

      where attrelid = (SELECT oid
                        FROM pg_class
                        where relname = 'batch'
                        AND relnamespace::regnamespace::text = 'f_tap35')) f
